Rakul Preet: I speak better Telugu than Punjabi

Rakul Preet shared that Telugu cinema remains her first love. "It's where I've discovered my love for the camera. Trust me, I enjoy being in front of the camera more than anything else in the world."

Rakul Preet is not disappointed by the male-dominated scripts in south Indian languages.

Actor Rakul Preet Singh says she speaks Telugu better than her mother tongue Punjabi and she would like to speak her own Telugu lines in films. “The one thing I’d really like to do in 2018 is to speak my own lines on Telugu. Do you know I’m so fluent in Telugu now, I speak the language better than I speak Punjabi. So far I’ve only dubbed my own lines for one Telugu film,” Rakul said.

But she doesn’t want to talk about “Spyder”, which was shot in Telugu and Tamil simultaneously.

“I don’t want to speak about ‘Spyder’. Not because I am embarrassed about its under-performance. But it’s just not an experience I enjoyed. I did it for the pleasure of working with A.R. Murugadoss Sir, and I’d do it again any time. But Sorry I really don’t want to say anything more about this,” she said.

Is Rakul disappointed by the male-dominated scripts in south Indian languages?

“Not the least. They aren’t all about the men. In fact, my other 2017 release ‘Jaya Janaki Nayaka’ (Telugu film) featured me in a pivotal role,” she said.

Telugu cinema remains Rakul’s first love.

“It’s where I’ve discovered my love for the camera. Trust me, I enjoy being in front of the camera more than anything else in the world. I can spend as much as 12 hours on the sets, even more. It’s the only passion that I have,” she said.

‘No one will purchase’: Andhra shrimp farmers fear they could get priced out of US market

India2 hr ago

The increase in US tariffs on shrimp imports from India will greatly affect Andhra Pradesh's shrimp farmers, forcing many to shut down or switch to less profitable species. This is due to the US market accounting for 40% of India's shrimp exports and the industry facing competition from Ecuador with lower tariffs. The state government is looking into ways to support the farmers.
