DESTINY'S CHILD: Charmme

'I AM NOT A GADGET FREAK        Sexy siren Charmme is all set to bounce back into the reckoning with two big tecket Telugu films Sye Aata and Mangala.          "No one gave Manthra (her film that released three years ago and fetched her a Nandi Award) a chance, but its phenomenal success silenced detractors," she claims. similarly, she fells that comic-caper Sye Aata, revolving around a dance reality TV show, and horror flick Mangala have enough potential to help tide over a lean patch.            On being the torch-bearer of women-oriented films for quite some time, she says, "Frankly, I have no choice since I am getting only author-backed roles and the terrain is tough, " she admits, but adds with grit, "No doubt it's a tough mission, but I'm in no mood to give up, although many of my colleagues have changed tracks to repeat themselves, Perhaps, I'm destined to be the torch-bearer, " she says.            Charmme, who's done several films in Tamil, including Kadhal Azhivathillai, Aahaa Ethanai Azhagu and the recently-released Laadam, completed nine years in the industry in May and threw a party to celebrate.           "Most actors, directors and producers turned up to bless me. To be precise, I have 30close friends in the industry, who will take my calls even at midnight and rush to help, if required," she says confidently.          Besides the goodwill, she is proud of her bank balance and swanky car. "At 22, I think I have a good bank balance, a swanky home and my prized possessionk, a BMW,' she asserts.         So, is she a gadget freak? "I'm not a gadget freak. I haven't changed my mobile phone in four years and I don't have a laptop yet." she says decidedly.
