Right now, I'm following the Buddhist principle: Smile as abuse is hurled your way and this too shall pass.

I just take on what I can commit to completely at that point in time, and that way you'll be able to give your best.

Do I look like a masochist or the sort who'd go through physical or verbal abuse? A year after my accident... when I fell of the stairs, I'm still being asked if I was physically abused. It saddens me that I'm being portrayed as this battered woman.

The more you are blessed with experience, the fuller and the more enriched you are in your craft.

I am really OK with the way I look. It's fine. All this is transient. I mean, it's really, you know, it changes with time, and that's the external.

Even in India the Hindi film industry might be the best known but there are movies made in other regional languages in India, be it Tamil or Bengali. Those experiences too are different from the ones in Bombay.
