I guess confidence is the only thing that I take from project to project, but I'm always open to learning everybody's style - the director, the actor I'm working with.

I think it's important to be extremely proud of one's origins, especially when you are a foreign actress with ethnic features.

I love going into a country and just blending.

I'd like to jump out of a plane. I have a fear of heights I'd like to face.

There's one disturbing notion throughout India that light skin is more attractive than dark.

I didn't really enjoy modeling in Bombay. I floated through it in the hopes that I would get my ticket to the next big thing. There was no real joy that I got out of it, to be really honest.

I feel being an actress is probably not half as difficult as being a mother, and I do not know when I will be ready for that kind of a decision.
