Nithya Menen is one the actresses who is knonw for doing meaty roles rather being called for glam-doll appearance. Her filmography boasts of many hit films in Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada and Telugu languages. She also made her Hindi debut earlier this year in the hit, slice-of-life drama, “Mission Mangal”. Nithya says as an actor she always feels she is “young at it” and doesn’t want to reach a place where she thinks she has “arrived” in the industry.
She was either nominated or took home awards for films such as “Mersal”, “24”, “O Kadhal Kanmani”, “Malli Malli Idi Rani Roju” and “Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyinde”. She is yet to be honoured with the prestigious National Award and she has no qualms about it.
“I think it makes things more exciting. As an actor, I always feel that I am still young at it. I don’t think I should ever reach a place where I feel like I have arrived and everything is done for me,” Nithya said. “So, it’s nice because I wanted it (the award) to come for a really good film. Maybe the genre of the film is very important when it comes to National awards and stuff like that. I want it to be for a good film. I want it to come the right way. I am okay with that. I don’t think my career is over yet… for me to worry about it,” added the artiste, who made her debut as a lead actor in 2006 with the film “Seven O’ Clock”.
