Haters are a drop in the ocean. Theres that much more love

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.

I don't believe in proving a point to anybody. Nobody is that important.

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.

Even in India the Hindi film industry might be the best known but there are movies made in other regional languages in India, be it Tamil or Bengali. Those experiences too are different from the ones in Bombay.

Right now, I'm following the Buddhist principle: Smile as abuse is hurled your way and this too shall pass.

Haters are a drop in the ocean. Theres that much more love
