I think it's important to know yourself before you try to deal with a relationship.
I am very direct, to the point that I think I might make people uncomfortable! I do not know how not to be direct. I don't think there's time to waste.
I wouldn't want to do a Bollywood film per se, but I would like to do an Indian-language film. For some reason I think Bollywood has become synonymous with commercial cinema, which is song and dance and everything that is larger than life, and I am interested in the reality.
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.
I keep saying I'm not at all famous in my own country, because people do not think I have done anything for India.
I think even the most beautiful person looks stupid on Skype.
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.
When you doubt one thing about yourself, you start thinking there's also something wrong with your hair, your body, your clothes, your accent.
I think it's important to be extremely proud of one's origins, especially when you are a foreign actress with ethnic features.

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.
It always feels great to be at the start of something new. It's almost like a revolution, in a way.
When a doctor is performing an operation, his mind cannot be somewhere else.
I absolutely love London; it is one of my favourite cities in the world.
