Versatility is Kushboo's forte

S.R. Ashok Kumar

I am a down-to-earth person who loves to laugh and be practical. I take life as it comes. I want to lead a happy life and make others too happy.

CHENNAI: Kushboo has completed 150 films and is still going strong. Today, she can choose the movie in which she wants to act, besides her appointments in television. Jaya TV's `Jackpot', which she is anchoring, has crossed 150 episodes and also won the RAPA Award. Kushboo talks about her likes and dislikes in films and family life.

I am a down-to-earth person who loves to laugh and be practical. I take life as it comes. I want to lead a happy life and make others too happy.

When I entered filmdom, I was doing all sorts of films. But to my luck I got some of the best directors and stars to make my films click at the box office. In the beginning I have done more than half a dozen films. But now I have limited my work. My children need my attention. I am doing only two films "June R" and the Satyaraj starrer "Vel Vel."

For me acting in a serial or a movie is very easy. But anchoring a show is really taking my time. `Jackpot' on Jaya TV needs total concentration.

Among my films, which I would love to show to my children are "Michel Madanakama Rajan" and "Nadigan" in Tamil and "Magic Ajji" in Kannada.
