I did not particularly enjoy modeling. I felt I was only utilizing 10 or 20 percent of my abilities. In India, it's just another job.

I'll never forget where I'm from. It's essential to remain humble and evolving.

In terms of romantic films, all-time romantic films, I really like 'Gone With the Wind.' And I realize I sound so cliched saying that, but there's something so absolutely romantic about it.

I feel like the history between Israel and Palestine has a lot in common with the history between India and Pakistan.

I'm proud of myself. I like the way I'm made.

Everything big-budget or stereotypical I was offered after 'Slumdog Millionaire' was a huge no-no.

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