Saniya Iyappan is working her way to the top. Playing the lead role in the movie Queen Saniya is making her presence felt on the big screen with three movies in her list. She burst forth on the entertainment scene through the reality dance competition D4Dance Season 2, in which she secured the position of the second runners-up.  FWD Life had a rendezvous with Saniya who is appearing for her class 10 board exams.

What do you love and hate the most about being a celebrity?

It’s just that there are times when I want some privacy when I’m with my family and friends but most of the time it’s hard to get it. The thing I love the most about being a celebrity is the love and recognition I get from people.

Tell us about how you procured your first lead role in the movie Queen.

It was through an audition that I got the role. When I heard the script, I knew that Chinnu and I were not very different. My dad is an engineer and he wanted one of his daughters (my sister or I ) to take up engineering. But Sadhika took up Psychology and I’m looking to pursue my career in dance and fashion designing. So in a way, I was hoping to make my dad happy by acting in the film and taking up the role which I would not really take up in my real life and that is being an engineering student.

How was your experience of working in Queen?

It was really fun and a new experience for me. It was like a preview to college life and it was just the opposite for other actors. They had their chance to recreate their college life memories.

 If you had to choose between film and dance, which will it be?

I shall choose dance because it is my passion and my life.

What are your thoughts about the trolls that were made about you and your character Chinnu?

There have been many trolls that were intended to make fun of me or to hurt me. But I think of them as my motivators. It was because of them that more people came to know about me and my character Chinnu.

In  Queen, there were some controversial dialogues and scenes. What was your initial response when you came to know about the dialogue by Salim Kumar?

I didn’t know Salim sir was a part of the movie at first because those scenes were shot before my schedule started and I didn’t dub my voice so I didn’t get to see the scenes. When I first went for the movie, I couldn’t hear the court scene dialogues as the audience was screaming and clapping hard. I felt an adrenaline rush when I heard those dialogues.

What would you like to tell our readers?

I’m just a 15-year-old girl, I have always been an energetic, fun, and crazy person. When you fake your true nature for someone else, you will only lose yourself and your true loved ones. Be yourself no matter what others say because there is no one like you and that’s what I believe.
