The joy of creating is the truest joy.

I live cinema and passionately love music, and my efforts in both these crafts are unfolding.

I believe destiny and hard work go hand in hand.

If my film does not do well, it really hurts me. But by God's grace, even if some of my films may not have done well, people have still liked my work in it.

I'm not usually a follower of trends - I like to set them a lot more. I don't like things that people have done already, then it's no fun for me to do it.

I'm lucky. I don't know whether I'm deserving or not. All I know is that I work damn hard for everything. And God helps those who help themselves. Every day is like an exam. I believe destiny and hard work go hand in hand. I was studying to be an engineer when my mom and my brother sent my pictures for the Miss India contest. I didn't even know about it. If that isn't destiny, what is?

After reaching season two on TV series, having done a film, and receiving acknowledgment in America, I feel like now whatever I do will be on me. My choices will be mine; my disappointments will be mine.
