'I cook only what I like to eat myself'

Actor Kajal Aggarwal likes to describe herself as an entrepreneur and a dreamer. A decade into her career in the South, she has made her presence felt in a huge way. She also garnered eyeballs in Bollywood playing a visually-challenged girl in 'Do Lafzon Ki Kahani'.

The actor was in the city recently for a Ponds' event at 'Health and Glow' where she left many heads turning, and even more wanting to meet her. In a quick free-wheeling chat with Anupama Ramakrishnan, Kajal talks about her connect with the city and what keeps her chirpy all the time.

How does it feel to be back in Bengaluru?

I love being in Bengaluru. It is really one of my favourite cities. I have always loved the weather here, the food and the people of course. However, it's very sad that I can't spend too much time here. The truth is I love to come here as often as possible!

You have often been described as a person full of life and are known for your vivaciousness... What do you have to say to that?

(Laughs) Well, there's no such secret. But I sleep really well. Maybe that's how I have this energy to talk. Also, I eat a lot.

Any specialities that you crave for?

Where food is concerned, I am open to everything. Whenever I get the time, I do cook. But I cook only what I like to eat myself (laughs).

You have an eclectic taste as far as your style is concerned. Could you tell us what you are wearing today?

It's a Pankaj and Nidhi outfit.

You fan base keeps growing...

I would like to give all my love and regards to my fans. I am eternally grateful for their love and encouragement.

Across the South Indian spectrum, you are a name to reckon with with your impeccable presence. Which is your favourite South Indian language?

This is a very unfair question (smiles). This is not fair at all... I haven't done that many movies in Kannada; I need to do a lot more movies in it to actually say it has become my staple. (Pauses) I would say I am quite fluent in Telugu though.
