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

My biggest concern is always the students who are working toward a certain career - when they limit themselves to just that one option. They need to know that the world is huge - it's an ocean, and there are so many options. It's not the end of the world if they don't get to pursue an apparent childhood dream.

The more you are blessed with experience, the fuller and the more enriched you are in your craft.

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

I have always been a person who is extremely comfortable in my skin. I have always just been myself in all these years on the public platform.

No one is perfect and everyone is different, but everyone one is beautiful in their own way and that's what makes us special.For me, it went beyond being a beauty queen. For me, it was about being the 20-year-old girl from India on international platform and a lot of people actually would assume that I wasn`t even educated in India because of the way I'd speak.

I always believed that my silence on several topics will be an advantage in the long run.
