Lakshmi Menon has been in the news for her lip-lock scene with Vishal in Naan Sigappu Manithan. Ask her about the scene and she says, “When the film’s director, Thiru sir, narrated the script, I understood that it was an important sequence. I took it very professionally and had no problem shooting it. I am someone who is addicted to acting, and to do justice to a role of substance, I do not mind acting such scenes.”
The actress has loved her stint in Kollywood, with films like Sundara Pandiyan, Kutti Puli and Pandiya Nadu hitting screens. “It is a well-known fact that cinema is a major part of Tamil audiences’ life. They are quite upfront when it comes to positive or negative feedback. I remember an instance where a guy came to see me while I was shooting for Pandiya Nadu. We were inside a temple in Kumbakonam. I was bewildered to see this person being super ecstatic upon seeing me. He jumped, galloped and did quite a few crazy things and was sweating profusely as I offered him a hand shake! Similarly, once a marine engineer came to meet me at the hotel I stayed in Chennai. Apparently, his mobile phone and room are full of my pictures! It is great to have such fans and I’m more than glad.
When fans discuss Lakshmi Menon, they talk bout her cheek scar, which is unique. “It is on my left cheek and appeared after a schoolmate pushed me down. I am happy that the Tamil industry considers it a sign of luck!”
