Indian celebrities have the media and fans permanently outside their homes, and that would make me really uncomfortable.
I find it very interesting these days that films are bringing in so many people of different ethnicities, and I'm proud to be a part of that cultural shift.
I've never told anyone this before, but I'm an obsessive-compulsive. I go back to my hotel room every evening and put the coat hangers back in order and open my bag and rearrange it. It takes a lot of my time, but if I don't do it I can't sleep.
Of course I'm going to marry, but I don't know when.
I actually didn't mind school, and I enjoyed university and college.
I absolutely love London; it is one of my favourite cities in the world.
I always imagined that I would learn something each time that I would take to a new project, then I realized that each new project poses a completely different challenge.
As the worlds getting filled with temptations, were getting a bit frivolous and a bit fickle.
I did not particularly enjoy modeling. I felt I was only utilizing 10 or 20 percent of my abilities. In India, it's just another job.
I think even the most beautiful person looks stupid on Skype.
I feel like the history between Israel and Palestine has a lot in common with the history between India and Pakistan.
I am first and foremost an actress of Indian origin.
I like working on big budget films.
Everything big-budget or stereotypical I was offered after 'Slumdog Millionaire' was a huge no-no.
