"Nobody from Andhra Pradesh has approached me with a good film. If they do, then I would certainly consider it," said the actress, who received critical acclaim for her performances in the Bengali film Antar Mahal and Hindi Rang De Basanti.

Soha has a strong Hyderabadi connection too, and has enjoyed its cuisine including the famous biryani a lot.

"I am familiar with Hyderabad, the city of pearls. I have grown up here and spent a lot of time here," she said.

Soha was in city to promote her latest Bollywood film Tum Mile along with her co-star Emraan Hashmi and film director Kunal Deshmukh.

On her foray into Telugu films, Soha, daughter of veteran actress Sharmila Tagore, said, "I have done some regional, namely Bengali movies."

"Telugu cinema...I am aware of it and seen many movies. I have lot of respect for it. I also do know that there is lot of interaction between actors from Mumbai and the Telugu film industry," she said.

Soha signed off saying, "I believe cinema is not really bound by language or...borders per se. It is really about good films and bad films."
