Archana aka Veda is one unlucky actress who couldn’t make it big despite having the acting abilities and oomph factor. The actress in her latest interview has expressed her angst for rejecting an offer made by top director Rajamouli SS.

Archana revealed that she had rejected a role in ‘Magadheera’ and it fell in the lap of Saloni. Explaining the circumstances under which she had to lose such a golden chance, she added, ‘after making my debut as lead heroine with Naresh’s ‘Nenu’, I made the biggest mistake of my career by playing a supporting role in ‘Nuvvosthanante Nenoddantana. I feel that mistake killed my heroine chances in tollywood. I used to cry everyday on that film’s sets’.

‘After that film, Rajamouli sir approached with the offer of ‘Magadheera’. Fearing it was another supporting role, I rejected it and that was the second biggest mistake of my life. Had I done that film, I might have played the lead role in his ‘Maryada Ramanna’ as well. I wanted to ask apology to Rajamouli,’ she said.

Poor Archana confessed that because of those mistakes, her career never took off in tollywood.
