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

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.

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.

I love going into a country and just blending.

Anybody, anywhere in the world, all they want is to be free, to choose what they want to do without having someone tell them how to do it.

More than anything else, if you can spend a great deal of dedicated time observing people without judgment, that can be a great way of learning.

I think when you have doubts, you just say no.
