Priyadarshan asked me during the shooting of 'Maalamaal Weekly' 'where are you from, Kerala or Tamil Nadu?' I told him 'I am a Malayali just like you.'
We say only the BJP can be the alternative force in Tamil Nadu. Our party is providing good governance in many States in the country and we are confident of repeating this success in Tamil Nadu also.
There is always a question that arises asking if am a Tamilan. I am 66 years old now. I had been in Karnataka only for 23 years; for the remaining 44 years of my life, I have been in Tamil Nadu with the Tamil people.
I am a Malayali who was brought up in Chennai. I know both Malayalam and Tamil.
I have served the longest term as Tamil Nadu BJP president and I am proud of it.
Tamil Nadu needs a leader, a leadership. I am coming to fill that vacuum.
While I will give my best for the benefit of Telangana, I will continue to remain a dear Tamil sister to all in Tamil Nadu.
I am open to do a Telugu, Tamil or Malayali movie. If I get a good script and good character, I will surely do it.
State unit of BJP will protect the rights of Tamil Nadu people and we will not back off from our attempts to bring glory to Tamil language.
There is no concept of a Tamil nation. India is one nation, and Tamil Nadu is a part of that.
Tamil people are generally considered very intelligent. But there, politics runs in a different way. Movie stars have a larger-than-life image in Tamil Nadu, and people vote for that image.
I'm indebted to the people of Tamil Nadu.
We want to be the alternative party in Tamil Nadu.
Women in Tamil Nadu are repressed. This must change.
In all sectors, Tamil Nadu has outperformed Gujarat as the top state.
