<div align="justify">Actor Krishi Thapanda is always on the move and she likes it that way. With a couple of projects awaiting release, the actor can think of nothing else apart from more work. In a candid chat with Tini Sara Anien, the actor sheds light on her projects and stay in Sandalwood.<br /><br />What’s happening at your end?<br /><br />I’m awaiting the release of ‘Kannadakkaggi OndannuOtti’, a film directed by Kushal Gowda, where I will be seen portraying Pramaya, who will be seen in different avatars. The first one is that of a stylish yet notorious person and the other one is a calm village belle. The love story is bound to impress many.<br /><br />What was the experience like?<br /><br />The project has many newcomers in the team. It was a fantastic experience to work with them as there was a lot of energy and new ideas. All of them wanted to come out with something really unique.<br /><br />For someone who is fairly new to the industry, how has your journey been?<br /><br />There are many people in the industry who came in with me but haven’t had any releases after that. I have been really lucky. Not everyone has a chance to bag offers right after their first film. But I haven’t been shooting for the last one month and I was feeling a bit fidgety and bit worried.<br /><br />Do you always have to be on the move?<br /><br />I am a restless person. I always have to be doing something. This is probably the first time in almost a decade that I had some time for myself and I felt clueless about what to do with it. So when I wasn’t shooting I kept travelling.<br /><br />How important is travelling for you?<br /><br />Very! I cannot imagine myself not travelling. Travelling opens up one’s thought process.<br /><br />Every penny I earn is spent on travelling because I want to keep travelling and exploring new places; I have no other goals in life.<br /><br />Something about the industry that surprised you.<br /><br />I am lucky that my path has been relatively smooth. There have been no roadblocks so far. But what surprises me about the industry is the fact that many people have a prejudiced approach to new actors in general. One cannot be too close with anyone in the industry.<br /><br />What do you like about acting?<br /><br />Acting opened me up to various experiences. There are a lot of things that I thought I wasn’t capable of doing but now I know better. I don’t crib about things and try my best to be cheerful generally but I have to do crying scenes in the movies too. Also, I never thought I could drape a sari and walk around but now I know that I am capable of that too.<br /><br />How important do you think fashion is for an actor?<br /><br />A lot. But for me fashion is sporting something that is comfortable and casual. I don’t follow fashion trends blindly and I love experimenting with my looks.<br /><br />Do you have a fitness mantra?<br /><br />Eat healthy and laugh a lot. Just be happy. Everything else will work in your favour then.</div>
