Having grown up in Bombay, from the day you're born, you have absolute freedom to choose who you want to be.

I guess confidence is the only thing that I take from project to project, but I’m always open to learning everybody’s style – the director, the actor I’m working with.

Of course I’m going to marry, but I don’t know when.

I think it’s important to be extremely proud of one’s origins, especially when you are a foreign actress with ethnic features.

I did not particularly enjoy modeling. I felt I was only utilizing 10 or 20 percent of my abilities. In India, it’s just another job.

I actually didn’t mind school, and I enjoyed university and college.

I’d like to jump out of a plane. I have a fear of heights I’d like to face.

When you doubt one thing about yourself, you start thinking there’s also something wrong with your hair, your body, your clothes, your accent.

Everything big-budget or stereotypical I was offered after ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ was a huge no-no.

I keep saying I’m not at all famous in my own country, because people do not think I have done anything for India.
