Ramya revealed she received a cheque for Rs 1 lakh for her role in her first film, 'Abhi'. The shoot lasted for about 20 to 22 days. She believes that to have a long career in the film industry, one must choose films that will succeed at the box office. "Don't get into choosing roles in your first or second film. When producers and directors start giving you priority, that's when the role should become important to you. For me, the role was always the most important thing in my films," Ramya explained.

What are the problems artists face?

"People see us as special and put us on a pedestal," Ramya said. "But we have reached this stage through hardship, just like everyone else. Sometimes, people misunderstand us. So, I feel there should be some sympathy for us. We are constantly judged on how we look, what we wear, and our weight. But along with this, people also give us a lot of love," she added.
