Krishna Monala

is not your average twenty-something-year-old. He claims to be a

nerd

, but we beg to differ. After all, he is one of the few Hyderabadis to be on the cover of a health magazine. In conversation with Hyderabad Times, he tells us the story

 

Post the cover shoot, Krishna started getting many calls from producers in Mumbai. But his excitement soon turned to horror when he had to encounter the "dark side of Bollywood". "When I met these producers in Mumbai, they asked me to do things that I just wasn't willing and ready to." So in simple words, you were asked to sleep with them? "Yes, they told me stories about how others, as in big stars, have gone through with the same thing and look where they are now... But I couldn't get myself to start my career like that."

 

sk him about how he got bitten by the acting bug and he says, "I was the only Indian kid in my high school in Alabama. I needed a role model, and I really like

Hrithik Roshan

who I consider the only actor in Bollywood. I wanted to be like him and dance like him. Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to be in the movies." And soon, he went to an acting school in

New York

. "After the course, we're introduced to film agents, but they always take on people with experience," says Krishna. So what now? "Well, I have to start somewhere. I didn't want to start in Mumbai doing things I didn't like. So , I've decided to try my luck in Tollywood. I did get three offers, but two of them were B-grade films, while the other was a stereotypical love story. One of

the movies

was actually called "Lover Boy", exclaims Krishna, who is waiting for the right script to come by. Meanwhile, he is all set to take on the role of an assistant director for director Nandini Reddy. "She's my mother's friend and when we got in touch with her, she asked me to be one of the assistant directors for her forthcoming flick with actor Siddarth," he says.
