"No Permanent place in cinema without showing glamour."
She is on the threshold of Tamil Cinema. Her first film Manathai Thirudivittaiwas a moderate success. From this movie, she has stolen many young hearts of Tamil Cinema audients. Naturally she could steal several hearts by her chic dress approach and liberty to show body outlines.
When pointed out was it her aim to overthrow other glam queen by showing excessive attraction...
"It was not my idea to expose glamour. Only for a single dance number I used glamour dresses. Since the same is repeated often in TV, it appears as if I am bent on showing glamour.

Cinema
Nobody in my home is fond of films.
My dad has never seen a film yet. When in school, I didn't like films too. When performing in school dramas, I thought I could do something in the media. First I took to modelling. Since modelling and films are nter-related, I joined films.Modelling
Modelling is different in different places. In Tamil films, Models were introduced from Bombay. I am the first Tamil girl in modelling. After me, now there are Trisha and Monisha. We bring models from Bombay and make them the heroines in our films. But in Mumbai, Tamil girl are treated with contempt. If a Tamil girl tries her hand at Hindi films, they ask her 'Why don't you work in Tamil films? Why do you come here?' And they cite a stupid reason for that. They say 'If a girl's face is round, she's a Tamil'! And that they don't like the round faces! How many of these round faces from Mumbai have succeeded here in Tamil Cinema!
Glamour
An important aspect for the heroines in the present day scenario, since there's a lot of competetion here. I ensure that it doesn't turn into obscenity.
Actor
I like the performance of Raghuvaran. I don't miss a single film of his. His performance leaves an impact on the minds of the people watching the film. He transforms into the role and performs with total involvement.Hobby
I eat well! Thats my hobby!
Desire
I wish to be happy now and always!
From Gayatri Jayaram's diary...............
(Source : Vannathirai, March 14, 2003)
During my modelling days at Mumbai, Lara Dutta visited the Miss India Training Center. She discussed the requisites of participating in the Miss India pageant. She said 'Success is being in the right place at the right time'. I liked this verse. This is an important quotation noted in my diary.
I am in the habit of writing my diary from the age of sixteen.Now, it is interesting to read what I had written during my younger days. I had replied to a love letter rejecting the offer and replied harshly. Now I feel, maybe, I shouldn't have been harsh with him.
I have draped my diary in clothe. The diary is indeed a good company. When I entered into a quarrel with my mother, I wrote all in the diary I couldn't tell her on her face. I am an avid reader and I note in my diary the good messages I come across.
Sushmita Sen had never expected she would win a beauty pageant. When she participated in the Miss India contest, she was very young. There's a place Fashion Street in Mumbai, where you get dress materials ann accessories at a lower price. She said many used to frown when she got the materials from here, and she told me of the difficulties she faced. I have noted them in my diary.
Recently, I was unhappy with what happened after working in the film 'Manathai Thirudi Vittai'. What was narrated to me, and the film, as it was released were quite different. During these days, my diary came to my rescue, in healing the wounds. Then I had written in my diary that I should have a separate person for costumes, make-up and a separate hair-dresser. I still follow that.
When I was in Churchpark school, I was 15. I was the first in the State in high-jump. Later, I had to participate in the Nationals. Inpspite of having qualified, I was afflicted with jaundice. Again, it was my diary which came to my rescue. I wrote everything that happened in my diary. Just as the houses and cupboards are kept under lock and key, I had kept my diary locked and had the key with me safely !!!.
