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'm a student. I want to do better, and I want directors who can find the actress in me and be my teachers. I'm interested in the whole process of editing, post-production and direction.

Elegance is innate...individual...eternal...it stands the test of time!

For me, it’s not about breaking big in Hollywood, but having interesting experiences.

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

Even when I was Miss World, I did all the dressing up I could, so the pretty face thing was done. But it was never about just looking pretty with the crown, I always wanted to make it more than that - I wanted to make it about beauty with a purpose. So I carried that into my films as well.

Life will take its toll on all of us. We get injured, we get old. It's really sad to try to run away from these harsh realities of life. Looks are not everything. I am not going to look beautiful all the time.
