Model

I fell in love with Nawaz on-screen after watching 'Gangs of Wasseypur.' So my love story starts with him from there. I was quite nervous to act alongside him. He is an excellent actor.

Bombay is different to Liverpool, or anywhere, really.

I was once so terrified of acting that I used to pretend I was ill to get out of drama.

For my first Bollywood movie, 'Ekk Deewana Tha,' my mum also came over because Mumbai was completely new to me, and I'd heard it's a huge city.

It makes no difference to my family where one comes from as long as we make each other happy. They are pretty cool like that.

I actually didn't find too many differences between B-town and the south. The difference lies in the temperature. I was shooting when it was 45 degrees Celsius in Chennai; Mumbai is cooler.

The industry is big, and if I get an interesting role, I will take it up.

I love horse-riding - I have three back home in the U.K.

Like most girls, I suffered from pimples, too. I tried dozens of treatments but was never satisfied with any.

When you have Khiladi Kumar on one side and Thalaiva on the other, you have to know your stuff well.

I am conscious about not getting typecast, but obviously I have to keep picking up great roles so that I don't get typecast.

I used to dress up in my older sister Alisia's clothes and thought modelling would be fun.

For me, as an actress, you are playing a character, and to play that character, you have to get into that mindset.

Learning Indian mannerisms, how to wear saris, and the language were a challenge.

Back in England, a girl with thick black hair, dusky skin and big brown eyes will turn heads. It is vice versa in India.

When I'm not shooting, I like to spend time with friends and family.

There's competition everywhere.

As an actress, I am very happy with 'Singh Is Bliing' because that was totally different from what I have done before.

Hindi is far easier a language to pick up than Tamil.

If my role in a film is meaty, and I get a good song along with it, then why not?
