Young women who want an education will not be stopped

Having grown up in Bombay, from the day youre born, you have absolute freedom to choose who you want to be.

I feel like this whole idea of wanting something that you don't really have is also very American in a way.

I find it very interesting these days that films are bringing in so many people of different ethnicities, and I'm proud to be a part of that cultural shift.

As the worlds getting filled with temptations, were getting a bit frivolous and a bit fickle.

So many people giving you so many opinions about how you look. It's hard for me to gauge what people are sometimes getting at. This brings up my suspicious side. I feel you just have to be confident with yourself. I feel topics like, "Oh, she looks beautiful today" or "She looks a mess today without her makeup"-that's always going to come my way, so I just think it's all about self-confidence.

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