“No one will see you as a heroine in this industry. They even made remark on my skin color and I heard things as such constantly. Harish (Director) is the only person who had faith in my acting skills and never demanded anything from me like increasing weight etc.I will never forget what Harish did in my life. Appearance is indeed important for a character but What I am requesting to directors and producers is, please don’t select based on the appearance alone, If you do so many true talents will be ruined.” said Kaarthy who ended her speech with a poem by Bharathiyar.
