I didn't really enjoy modeling in Bombay. I floated through it in the hopes that I would get my ticket to the next big thing. There was no real joy that I got out of it, to be really honest.

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

I guess confidence is the only thing that I take from project to project, but I'm always open to learning everybody's style - the director, the actor I'm working with.

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

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

I absolutely love London; it is one of my favourite cities in the world.

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