Remember Harini alias Genelia D'Souza, the Goa-born actress who debuted in Shankar's 'Boys' a few years back? Her 'Sachein' opposite Vijay in 2005 bombed miserably at the box-office and thanks to 'Santosh Subramaniam' opposite 'Jeyam' Ravi hitting the bull's eye at the box-office, she finally had something to smile about as far as Tamil films are concerned. We spoke to the chirpy girl about her on-again, off-again terms with Kollywood.
"I debuted in Hindi films a few years back and then switched over to Kollywood and Tollywood. Usually, it is said that Bollywood-rejects are pampered and patronized by the Tamil and Telugu film industries, a view to which I don't ascribe to. I, in fact, changed the said adage by giving a hit after failing to do so in my debut film" , adds Genelia, whose 'Jaanae Tu Jaanae Naa', a film produced by superstar Aamir Khan turned out to be a hit movie.
" Now, by God's grace, I've become very busy in Bollywood too. As far as Tamil is concerned, I should concede that after 'Santosh Subramaniam', I didn't get any tempting offer from Kolllywood", says the bubbly actress.
