On what would she like to be referred to as — a dancer or an actor — Elli told IANS: “I’m an actress. An actor for me is not only supposed to know how to deliver dialogues. An actor should have many skills, only then is he/she a great actor. In my case it’s only a plus point that I’m great in dancing. Tomorrow I might show my other talents, for example I’m a previous figure skater, or I train mix martial arts, now that does not take away from the fact that I’m an actress.”
