Nikhila Vimal explains her discomfort with sudden cameras

Nikhila Vimal said she considers sudden camera interactions a personal space issue. She stressed that the situation is her problem rather than something that should be blamed on journalists."When cameras suddenly come, it feels like my own privacy space. That is my problem, not yours. It is a problem of not knowing how to react to you. I know that you need content. You are asking questions from within that context. Sometimes, even if the question is very irritating, when you say not to respond, I feel like I can just get away from it. It is not because I am angry with you or anything," Nikhila said, as quoted by Reporter website.

Actress says press meets are different

Nikhila Vimal drew a distinction between scheduled press meets and sudden encounters with cameras. She said she feels prepared when she knows that she has to attend a media interaction."When it is a press meet, I will be prepared. But if I suddenly step out of a car one day and ten video cameras come and stand there and say, ‘Talk,’ sometimes I may not be that prepared. That is the problem. It is my problem," Nikhila added.

'Dhoomakethu' continues its theatrical run

Meanwhile, Nikhila Vimal is receiving attention for her performance in 'Dhoomakethu'. The film which has Sajin Gopu in the lead, received 2.5 stars out of 5 from ETimes and our exclusive review read, "The film has some notable touches, such as when an uncle says it’s okay to be gay and when the neighbour tells Kuttan and Anti that Sharmila has a past, but Anti tells his friend to not give it much importance and that it’s just stories jealous people make up about any pretty girl.The writers missed a wonderful opportunity to use the time loop situation to tackle people shaming Kuttan for his looks and age. While the film offers an interesting, novel concept and experience, the story would have benefited from a fresh conflict."
