She adds, "Only 2 things help you succeed in Tamil Industry: EXTREME talent and some luck. This applies to all, whether they are family or mafia or whatever. This is why we have EXTREMELY talented hardworking dedicated actors like VIJAY, SURYA, KARTHI, JAYAM RAVI succeed. nothing to do with. [sic]"
