Interview excerpts

“I’m a hyperactive person and even think while I’m sleeping. I’ve started doing Yoga and meditation to calm myself and can say that I’m finally at peace.”

“From within I will always be a child woman. I will continue being so even when I am 60 or 70, so I think that child in you should never die, ‘coz that’s what keeps you rooted. When I go back home, I am back to being a child woman.”

“I feel I am still a newcomer. I do get nervous and excited whenever I do a film. I like to challenge myself as an actor and hence I will keep doing different kind of roles and not restrict to one particular role or space.”

“I definitely believe that I’m a spiritual person. I connect with myself and believe in a force up there. One’s belief’s and thoughts keep changing with experience and it’s important to be self-aware.”

“I was offered something big on TV. I don’t think TV interests me at all. I guess I get bored,”

“Independence is not just about celebration, but love and respect for your nation, patriots and those who have brought pride to our motherland. Jai Hind!!”

“Films were never thought of as a career. In fact, my mother wanted me to be either an IAS officer or a psychologist. But I was not interested.”
