Little did Varshinne aka TikTok sensation Bunnyvox knew that among her 2.1 million fans were directors Kona Venkat & Bobby. And that her short entertaining videos would impress them so much that they would cast her in their new film. The Hyderabad-based debutante starred in Vidyarthi, opposite co-star Chethan Cheenu in Tollywood and here she shares the excitement of her new journey as an actor, being inspired by Nayantara and more. Excerpts:
From social media star to a heroine in a film. How has the journey been?
It's been an amazing journey. I had never thought that I would become an actor, it’s something that was not my thing. However, when I started making short videos, I realised that I enjoyed doing it and that’s how it happened.
And now when you are an actor what are your aspirations?
I aspire to be a good actor and I want to make my friends, family and fans proud of the different characters that I desire to play.
Did you take any inspiration from other artists for the lead role?
I always get inspired by Nayantara
What’s next?
While accepting good roles in movies, I want to concentrate on music. I love music and I definitely do something new with music to impress my audience.
