I think worldwide, the movement has been towards accepting and respecting the individuality and the rights of gay people, lesbians and transgender people. Here, however, age-old cultural mindsets - which also comes from Victorian times, affect the thinking of people.

Being an international actor, I always had to keep moving.

Love is a beautiful feeling.

I grew up speaking English and Punjabi. Just living and working in Punjab and smelling the early morning air and sitting down and having paranthas and lassi and all that was marvellous.

I could play Arab roles, even German roles, Italian roles because I had that look.

I can't play Mahatma Gandhi.

I love the stage, I love the process of acting in theatre, but unfortunately, it doesn't pay the bills.
