No to glamour roles, says anchor Lasya

The TV anchor is set for her silver screen debut with Raja Meeru Keka.

Anchor Lasya is in high spirits about her character in her forthcoming film, Raja Meeru Keka. “I play a software engineer and the film revolves around four best friends and the relationship they share,” she says.

The anchor had been offered a few roles earlier, but she refused to take up glamour roles.

While the newly turned actress has done a lot of TV shows, she finds acting different. “I told the director that I don’t know anything about acting. He said that he will teach me, and I have just followed his instructions,” she says, adding, “Anchoring needs lot of energy and spontaneity. Acting, on the other hand, has a lot of different shades.”

The actress started the film with a sentimental scene, playing off a conversation between a daughter and her father. It took her a while to get it right, but she’s confident that she’s done well. Lasya says she is choosy about scripts. “I don’t do glamourous roles. But if I find a role that has scope for performance, I’ll do.”

Recently married, Lasya talks about her husband, Manjunath. “We studied and also worked together. I consult him before I sign a film. He is a good judge of scripts and supports me unconditionally.”
