Asked if the behaviour of her friends has changed, she said: "All are the same. I wish that they remain the same, so that I stay grounded. Otherwise, I'll fly too high. Even I would like to stay the same way.

"I have specifically told them to be always the same irrespective of what I become or achieve in the future and that I should be the same for them always."

The team of "Saala Khadoos" including the film's producer Rajkumar Hirani and her co-star R. Madhavan were dressed in south Indian attire on the occasion of the festival of Pongal. Ritika, a national-level kick boxer, also donned a sari.

"It was difficult for me to wear this as I'm not used to all this. It's the first time I've worn an attire like this - like a girl. But still I'm feeling very good," she said.

Will Ritika, who has also learnt mixed martial arts, continue with sports?

"I want to do films because I really enjoyed it. But I can never leave martial arts because I've been doing it since three years, so it runs in my family. And I see it wherever I go. So, I can't leave it ever," she said.

'Saala Khadoos', directed by Sudha Kongara, will hit the screens on January 29.
