There's one disturbing notion throughout India that light skin is more attractive than dark.

When a doctor is performing an operation, his mind cannot be somewhere else.

One of my favorite actors is Javier Bardem, he always challenges his previous roles, and basically does the unexpected.

I find it very interesting these days that films are bringing in so many people of different ethnicities, and I'm proud to be a part of that cultural shift.

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 don't think Bollywood is only mindless cinema, but a lot of films they churn out are not films that I completely enjoy watching.

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