Khushbu's advice that Hansika won't forget

 

Hansika, who is referred to as 'chinna Khushbu' in Kollywood, reveals that she shares a warm rapport with the actress. Currently, Sunder C's Aranmanai features Hansika in a pivotal role. Working on the film, Hansika says, gave her the opportunity to get to know Khushbu personally.

Says Hansika, "Khushbu mam and I talk very often, because I worked with her husband — in fact, this is my third film with Sundar sir. The first time she called me was after Engeyum Kaadhal. I didn't know she was such a big actress back then. She told me, 'Hi Hansika, this is Khushbu. I have seen your film and I hope you choose your films very carefully...' At that time I was just overwhelmed that someone as legendary as her was calling me. Then people started comparing me to Khushbu mam. They are a sweet family."

Hansika admits that Khushbu in fact, has given her a bit of advice that she will never forget. "She told me, 'Hansu, people may compare you and me. But, whoever they compare you to, you are your own person because you are way better than me. You need to carve your own identity'. I don't agree to that, she is always the best. She messaged me when she saw Aranmanai and that she was taken aback by my performance."
