NICOLE

Remember the pretty lead lady of Adada Enna Azhagu? Her name is Nicole, and there is a reason she is thus named! "My mother loves NICOLE, and when I was born, there was no doubt in her mind as to what to name me! Hence I got the name Nicole," say the chirpy young actress, who has Nicole Kidman-like dreams!

"My father, Ricky D'Costa, was a rhythm box player with music director Deva. Now, he is a music director in Kannada. My dad never wanted me to enter films as he thought I won't be able to withstand the pressure. However, I've always wanted to act and I did a course in acting and dancing in Mumbai. I want to do a variety of roles and make a name for myself," she adds.

Getting ready for release are two of her Tamil movies : Aarumaname and Naikutty. "Aarumaname will be released by July end. Naikutty is in its finishing stages. I'm playing a village girl in Aarumaname and a girl from the slums in Naikutty," she reveals. Ask her about a rumoured liplock scene in Aarumaname and she says boldly, "There's nothing wrong in doing a kissing scene, if the script demands it. There is a kissing scene in Aarumaname, but it's been shot very aesthetically."
