I'll stick to my sexy image: southern star Namitha

Bangalore, Dec 28 (IANS) Southern actress Namitha says she has no plans to change her glamour girl image because her fans like her in her sexy avatar.

'I am happy to have genuine fans who wants to see me in best of roles. They advise me sometimes about the type of roles I should do. Many of my fans say that I should not do away with my glamorous image. I know that glamour is my selling point and I have decided to stick to my sexy image and please my fans,' Namitha told IANS.

She is so popular that her fans have built a temple in her name in Tamil Nadu, but she hasn't visited it yet.

'I know my fans have built a temple in a place near Coimbatore. I haven't visited the temple yet. I was busy shooting for films in all the four South Indian languages. Whenever I have time, I go to Mumbai to be with my family. I love the food prepared by my mother and would not miss any opportunity to be with her. She is also coming to Chennai to be with me during my shooting,' said the actress.

Namitha was here recently to shoot a dance sequence for the Kannada film 'Hoo', which is being directed by Ravichandran for producer Dinesh Gandhi.

Namitha, who features in two song and dance sequences, says that she agreed to do it because Ravichandran is also acting in it.

'Ravi sir is a specialist as far as showing his heroines glamorously on the screen is concerned. He gives enough space to his heroines on and off screen. He has given me a very good role in the film which has given me scope to perform and also showcase my glamour quotient,' said Namitha.

Namitha had recently worked in a Malayalam film 'Black Stallion' with Kalabhavan Mani which has now been dubbed in Tamil. She also featured in the hit Telugu film 'Billa'.
