Sreeleela Reveals Life Lessons & Exciting Film Debuts on Grazia India’s October Cover!
Sreeleela, featured on Grazia India’s October cover, shares her journey of self-discovery, gratitude, and global adventures. Fresh from a Lufthansa flight to London, she exudes calm and confidence amidst the city’s dramatic skies. Despite frequent travels, she reveals, “Home is wherever my mum is — her presence makes any place feel like home,” with her mother supporting her on set.
Her love for exploring cultures and languages— from learning Marathi in Mumbai to her roots in Kannada cinema—shaped her openness. Sreeleela explains, “Each language has its own rhythm and emotional frequency, so it’s vital to understand them when working across four or five languages.”
Reflecting on her career choices, the actor emphasizes, “Every detour has benefited me. Saying no takes strength, but I have no regrets. I’m grateful for my journey.” Sreeleela views cinema as a bridge for global exploration, noting, “Movies let audiences visit places they’ve never been. Traveling exposes me to diverse personalities and cultures, broadening my perspective.”
She recalls her guarded childhood and how travel, encouraged by her mother, expanded her horizons. Sreeleela says, “As an actor, these experiences are essential. I love talking to people and learning their stories — it helps shape my empathy and curiosity.”
With no formal acting training, Sreeleela credits her co-actors and directors as her teachers, valuing on-set learning above all. Excitedly, she reveals, “I’m juggling shoots between Chennai and Mumbai with my Tamil and Hindi debuts coming up — I’m thrilled for what’s next.”
