B'lore, Aug.11 (NR): Sizzling beauty Aindrita Ray is surely going places in the Kannada film industry. She has just started working with a new hero Yogeesh in the film Dhool directed by Raghavendra. The film is a remake of Tamil Hit Thiruvilaiyaadal Aarambham which had Dhanush and Shriya in the lead.

Now, the topic of discussion has been the close bond that Aindrita has with actress Ramya. Ramya may have a very few friends in the industry, but she is very chummy with Aindrita. And Aindrita would also like to acknowledge her great friendship with the senior actress.

"I have great respect for Ramya as she is a senior artist who has achieved so much in the industry. Both of us have almost the same background and are well groomed. We share the same concerns for our love towards animals. And she has also been fond of pet dogs. Though we meet very rarely because of our busy shooting schedules, some times we occasionally meet and play shuttle together in the Bangalore Club. Our discussions have always been on non filmy issues. We don't discuss films and our respective careers. I was very fond of Ramya since my Meravanige days. That is because she had agreed to act in a special role in Meravanige. She was closer to Mahesh, the director of Meravanige who introduced us. Then I went to the premiere of her film Bombaat and frankly discussed about the film with her. But it was the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of the Kannada film industry which really strengthened bond between me and Ramya. I really like her for her frankness and her humane nature. We are part of many charity based and people oriented programmes, but we would rather keep these things with ourselves than use them to gain undue publicity," says Aindrita.
