I think the reason why I haven't done a film in India so far is because I haven't found a script that's completely gotten my attention and made me passionate to get it made. I keep saying I'm not at all famous in my own country, because people do not think I have done anything for India. The reason why I'm making movies outside my country, bit by bit, is to be able to come back to India equipped with the knowledge and understanding of how to hopefully produce my own films one fine day.

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

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

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

I've learned to develop a thick skin, but you're bound to be affected when you read something bad about yourself in the paper and it's rubbed in your face over and over.

I'm glad I'm a strong person.

Growing up in Bombay made me immune to culture shock, in a way. So, culture shock is not part of my DNA.
