Were you confident about the SC victory?

Very much. I knew what I spoke. There is freedom of speech for everyone in this country and I expressed my views without fear. I never regretted what I said.

How did your family support you through the last four years?

My biggest support was my husband Sundar C. He stood by me like a rock and cheered me on. Of course, silent support came from both my daughters. They understood all was not well at home and let me travel to Delhi whenever I wanted to meet my lawyer.

Will you continue to talk on these issues?

I will talk about issues related to women’s empowerment, child abuse and inequalities.

Did you get support from the film industry?

A lot of people expressed their support personally. But Suhasini Maniratnam spoke up for me in the public arena. I thank them all.

You were in London when the verdict came.

I was holidaying with my family. The verdict came and I was busy talking to the media. We hardly had any celebrations. I’m not planning any celebration parties back home either.

So politics is your next step.

Yes. I’m definitely joining politics. But I can’t tell you when and which party.

What do you want to achieve as a politician?

I’d like to work for women and the downtrodden. I’m observing the political arena and hope to bring change in the lives of the needy.

...like Jayalalitha?

I don’t like comparisons. I respect her but I will be different in my own way.

Did you sign a Hindi film with the Big B?

Yes, Mad Dad. It should start rolling as soon as we get Mr Bachchan’s dates.

Films, TV shows and now politics. What keeps you ticking?

Creativity. I’ve launched my own banner and will be producing my own serials and films.
