I have always been a fan of Mahesh Manjrekar's work. I like the way he tells his stories. He manages to focus on aspects of human beings and of society, which we don't often see in cinema.
With music, I'm transported to a place that radiates positive frequencies and immediately eases my worries.
I am open to playback singing, but only if my acting schedule permits. I would love to sing for myself in my films, but that depends on the director and if the makers think my voice is needed.
I don't think I'm defying stereotypes on purpose. If it so appears that way, so be it. For me, I've been brought up that way.
I will never endorse a fairness product because I was not comfortable growing up being the darkest person in my family. Also, I won't endorse alcohol, as I believe that it's not good for health.
I've never considered myself a feminist, but I'm happy that I've been raised as a strong, independent woman.
I really believe in trying to fulfil what my director wants, what I can do to make that scene better.
Everybody needs a hit, but at the same time, people have to like my work, too. I'm more thankful for the fact that people appreciated my work in every film, and I work hard to earn that.
I turn to my parents for support, but their lives and careers are different and mine is different, so I don't consult them regarding my career. I make my own choices.
I think anxiety is the nature of most environments today, and people feel inadequate when they are not able to cope with it.
When we grow up, we tend to forget our first crush, first love, as we move along. Only when you see something on TV or hear someone say something do you go back to those moments.
