<p align="justify">It isn’t easy to stand your ground and yet become popular as an actor. Samyukta Hornad is among those actors who don’t sign just about any project that comes their way.<br /> <br />She prefers to take up those that have substance. Samyukta has ttwo projects on hand now — ‘Dayavittu Gamanisi’ where she plays an IT professional and ‘Coffee Thota’, where she is a lawyer.</p>.<p align="justify">In an interview with <em>Nina C George</em>, she talks about why she has become choosy with her projects. <br /><br />What got you to sign ‘Coffee Thota’? <br />I liked the script because I was offered the role of a lawyer. I studied law when I was in college and I am well-versed with some of the laws. Living up to director T N Seetharam’s expectations was indeed a challenge. <br /><br />Tell us about your character. <br />My character undergoes a transformation of sorts in the second half of the film. I first appear as a carefree young girl who isn’t serious about her life. Something changes and she begins to take her work seriously. <br /><br />What is different about ‘Dayavittu Gamanisi’? <br />I play the character of an ambitious IT professional who has a mind of her own. My character is bold, she also rides a bike. But there’s also another side to her. It’s a good contrast. <br /><br />We hear that you are working on films for Netflix? <br />I am working on a couple of projects in Tamil and will soon do an English film that will be released on Netflix. It’s something new. I was convinced about the scripts because they deal with real issues that affect people of all age groups. <br /><br />Your pace of working...<br />I’ve worked at my own pace and have never been worried about what society may <br />think about my choices. <br /><br />I also don’t believe in comparing myself to anybody else. <br /><br />What do you do when you are not working? <br />I am actively involved with activities related to animal rescue and rehabilitation and issues related to environmental conservation and biodiversity interest me. </p>
