🌟 Quickfire with Keerthy Suresh

High point of your life: Winning the National Film Award for Best Actress for Mahanati. It was a dream moment — like touching the sky with both hands.

Low point of your life: Honestly, every low phase has shaped me. I prefer to see them as lessons rather than failures.

Currently I am: Filming across Tamil and Telugu industries — balancing performance-oriented roles with a few fun commercial ones.

If you were the editor of a magazine for a day, whom would you put on the cover?
Savitri amma — she’s the soul behind Mahanati, and her grace still inspires me.

Your favourite South Indian slang: “Adei pa!” — short, fun, and full of expression.

Your favourite travel hotspot in India: Munnar — the hills, tea gardens, and that soothing mist make me feel at peace.

A dish to die for: Kerala sadya! Especially avial and payasam — can’t imagine Onam without them.

A song you can’t stop humming: Mooga Manasulu from Mahanati. It’s pure emotion.

Which classic would you have chosen as your debut?
Mayabazar. I’m a huge fan of old-world storytelling and cinematic magic.

What was the toughest part about playing Savitri in Mahanati?
Living her emotions — she wasn’t just a character; she was history. It took everything I had as an actor.


💫 Style & Soul

Three things you would do if you could:

  1. Spend a month painting and doing nothing else.

  2. Travel across Europe on a food trail.

  3. Open a fashion label celebrating Indian textiles.

A fashion trend you wish would make a comeback: 90s puff sleeves and polka dots — pure vintage charm!

Your favourite piece of jewellery: My mother’s gold jhumkas — they carry nostalgia.

Do you believe fairness creams work?
No — beauty isn’t a shade. Confidence and kindness matter more.

Three cosmetics you can’t do without:
Moisturizer, kajal, and lip tint.

Your favourite cuisine:
South Indian comfort food and Thai cuisine.

A song to describe your life:
“Rise Up” — because I believe in moving forward no matter what.

A talent you would love to acquire:
To play the veena like a pro — such a divine instrument!

Little black dress or black sari?
A black silk sari — elegant, timeless, and powerful.

What would you wear to a hot date?
A pastel flowy outfit — soft, feminine, and effortless.

The last line of your autobiography would read:
“She stayed grounded, even when the world put her on a pedestal.”


💃 Personal & Fun Side

If you weren’t an actor, you would be:
A fashion designer — I studied it, and it still inspires my styling today.

Which colour dominates your wardrobe?
Pastels — mint green, blush pink, lavender. They make me feel calm.

A language you wish you were fluent in:
Hindi — I’m working on it for my Bollywood projects!

You de-stress with:
Music, sketching, and spending time with my dogs.

A body part you would insure:
My expressive eyes — they’ve told half my stories!

The last time you had a bad hair day:
On a beach shoot — the wind refused to listen to the stylist!

A director you’d give anything to work with:
Mani Ratnam — that’s every actor’s dream, isn’t it?

A gadget you can’t do without:
My iPhone — it’s my camera, diary, and jukebox all in one.

If you could jet-set anywhere in the world:
Switzerland — the mountains there are cinematic perfection.

Who is your 3 am friend?
My sister Revathy — she’s my emotional anchor.

If you woke up and found you’d turned into a man:
I’d probably get some extra sleep and then laugh about it later!

What will we find in your fridge?
Fresh fruits, almond milk, and some dark chocolate.

A movie that always brings a smile to your face:
Remo — it’s so much fun and full of colour.

A film that was part of your childhood:
Poochakkoru Mookkuthi — I’ve watched it countless times with my parents.

The most overrated film:
(laughs) I believe every story finds the right heart — so no judgments!

The first movie you saw on screen:
Anjali — and I cried buckets!

A film that you have watched over five times:
Mahanati — it’s too close to my heart to count the views.
