I feel that all of us can contribute something, and it doesn't have to be money. It can just be service or talent.

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

It's not that difficult to say no when you don't want to do something.

Everybody comes up with this term lucky-"Oh, she's so lucky." Even though I was lucky, I had a lot of struggle before that. I said I was going to give up everything at age 25 and get into event management because nothing was going for me. I used to have a lot of nervous breakdowns.

Indian celebrities have the media and fans permanently outside their homes, and that would make me really uncomfortable.

I've never told anyone this before, but I'm an obsessive-compulsive. I go back to my hotel room every evening and put the coat hangers back in order and open my bag and rearrange it. It takes a lot of my time, but if I don't do it I can't sleep.

I definitely need to date someone who is calm.
