I Live With Romance In My Brain.

Every Character That I Play, Even If It's A Homemaker, There Is An Inherent, Innate Strength In Her - You Can Find Strength In Every Facet Of A Female Personality. It Doesn't Just Come From The Physical Strength Of A Woman.

It's So Stupid, So Archaic To Say That Men Are So Stupid They'd Give Anything For Sex, And Women Are...that That's The Only Resort We Have.

I Did Not Want To Be The Stereotype Of Either Bollywood Or What Indian Actors Are Usually Offered. The Exotic, Beautiful Girl, Or The Academically Inclined Nerd. And I Wanted To Play A Lead... I Didn't Settle For Less.

I Was Rejected Many Times. I Cried. I Was Told That Female Actors Are Replaceable In Films Because They Just Stand Behind A Guy Anyway. I'm Still Used To Being Paid - Like Most Actresses Around The World - A Lot Less Than The Boys. We're Told We're Too Provocative Or That Being Sexy Is Our Strength, Which It Can Be, And It Is, But That's Not The Only Thing We Have. But Women Have Incredible Endurance And Incredible Strength. Your Ability To Deal With It Is Within You.

For Me Exotic Means Beaches, Palm Trees And Sand And Frolicking In The Ocean
