“They said that a heroine should sleep with Hero and producer. I don’t want an opportunity like that. I have learnt to say “no”. Yes I accept that it got delayed for me to grow in my career. Lot of people didn’t accept me to act in their films just because I was too correct. But That’s fine. Now I have completed 25 films. I worked with 25 best producers and with 25 best directors. I am signing my 29th film next. So I am happy” said Varalakshmi Sarathkumar.

“Many are accepting the offer and complaining about it later. You don’t have to bring the person’s name out. But say “no” and walk out. That is my point. No point in complaining about it after doing what they required from you.” she added. Watch the video below :
