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.

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.

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

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'.

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

I was more excited than scared, at the opportunity to work in an English movie.

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.
