Creative Freedom Is An Imperative For Me,

It's Only At This Age That I Can Say The Word 'art' Without Flinching.

It Gave Me A Lot Of Pleasure And Pride That 90 Percent Of The Crew For 'monsoon Wedding,' And Most Of My Film, Are Women. We Get The Work Done, You Know, Much Lesser Play Of Ego... And I Really Believe In Harmony, I Believe In Working In A Spirit Of Egolessness And That The Film Is Bigger Than All Of Us.

We Have Three Generations At Home, Including My Father-in-law. I Keep A Very Low Profile, And A Lot Of Things I Do Are Very Much With The Family In Mind. I Have Actually Made Films With The Family Around Me.

I Am An Independent Film-maker First And Foremost. I Have Always Cut My Own Cloth.

Every Film Is A Political Act; It's How You See The World.
