Everything Isn't Perfect.

I Don't Want To Be A Stereotype; I Want A Character That's Aspirational.

I Was Also Told Some Years Ago That I Shouldn't 'waste My Time' With Female-centric Films Because The Audience Was Not Ready For It.

I Did Not Want To Be The Stereotype Of Either Bollywood Or What Indian Actors Are Usually Offered. The Exotic, Beautiful Girl, Or The Academically Inclined Nerd. And I Wanted To Play A Lead... I Didn't Settle For Less.

There Are Cliques In Bollywood, And People Stick Together, But I Have Always Tried To Stick To My Work. As An Industry, Bollywood Is Very Competitive, And I'm Very Competitive As A Person, But I've Never Been A Part Of Any Clique, And I've Always Worked With All Actors And Directors, All Camps.

I Am A Very Private Person. No One Ever Knows Anything About Me As I Don't Think It Is Necessary. I Tell People As Much As I Want Them To Know About Me.
