Sexy in India is not considered positive. But, with today's crop of fresh faces in the modelling arena, being sexy is an asset.

I have a great story to tell and I tell it well. No holds barred.

Strangely, nothing makes me feel tired, fatigued, at all. I've gone days and nights without sleep, and still the mind is in such a positive space it just doesn't make you feel fatigued.

I was studying to be an architect, I wasn't plotting to join the movies. Films were just another career option. I took acting up with the same schoolgirl enthusiasm I had for examinations. Acting is a job and I take it very seriously.

My family is my strength and my weakness.

Do we recognize the platform that Indian cinema has been given? Of course. And typically India of us, we gracefully acknowledge our host's grace and we thank you for celebrating us and our cinema.

I always knew I would be successful. So there was no element of surprise.
