I am first and foremost an actress of Indian origin.

So many people giving you so many opinions about how you look. It's hard for me to gauge what people are sometimes getting at. This brings up my suspicious side. I feel you just have to be confident with yourself. I feel topics like, "Oh, she looks beautiful today" or "She looks a mess today without her makeup"-that's always going to come my way, so I just think it's all about self-confidence.

In L.A. you hear all these stories of people being filmed in their own homes through their windows. I think that is so scary.

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

I always imagined that I would learn something each time that I would take to a new project, then I realized that each new project poses a completely different challenge.

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

I keep saying I'm not at all famous in my own country, because people do not think I have done anything for India.
