Beauty is transient and changes with time.

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

In terms of finding that first international recognition of my work, coming back to Cannes is such a milestone in my life because it began actually with 'Devdas'.

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

Actually way back when Abhishek and I were just co-actors, I kept telling him 'let's be a part of a troupe and go on a world tour'. And he kept on saying 'It's not the right time'. But I never thought that my wish will be fulfilled in such a grand way and that we will be part of the team as man and wife.

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.

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