I keep saying I'm not at all famous in my own country, because people do not think I have done anything for India.

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.

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 wouldn't want to do a Bollywood film per se, but I would like to do an Indian-language film. For some reason I think Bollywood has become synonymous with commercial cinema, which is song and dance and everything that is larger than life, and I am interested in the reality.

I tell you why I like Chanel so much: when I started off, no one wanted to give me clothes to wear. Absolutely no one! All the labels said, 'Who is she?' But Chanel believed in me from the very beginning.

I love going into a country and just blending.

I am first and foremost an actress of Indian origin.
