While there are actresses who begin to throw tantrums at the sets after their very first movie, this Malayalam beauty stands apart. She is known for her humility yet frank statements.

Yes, we are referring to Nithya Menen who has already made it big in other industries and is on her way to take us Tamil movie buffs by awe through '180' and 'Veppam' that will release shortly.

When we quizzed her about how she feels when people in the industry are comparing her to Genelia and are happy that there's another bubbly actress like Genelia, this is what she has to say: "It doesn't feel great to be compared to Genelia or anyone. I don't want to be compared and I would like to think I am different. I don't think I look anything like her or act like her, just because there is this slight resemblance of fair skin and curly hair doesn't make one anything like another."

She added, "Being compared is an offensive thing to me and I get offended, it's like saying my personality doesn't exist."

However, she is all glee that she is being compared to yesteryear heartthrob Soundarya. She says, "Soundarya was always respected and she is looked at in a certain way that I always would like to be looked upon as an actress."

The actress has also turned down many scripts with big banners and top-notch heroes as her role didn't have much importance, looks like yet another actress who wants to be a heroine and not just another 'star' is on her way. Way to go girl...!
