I had to let go of many things because we did not have much money growing up. Like joining the Film Institute in Pune or learning the piano.

I've always been told that because of 'Main Hoon Na,' a lot of female filmmakers have come up but I maintain that direction is a ‘genderless' job."

For me feminism is equality.

It is really a sad state of affairs if I am still the only commercially successful woman director. We need a lot more commercially viable women, not only in direction.

When the federal government invests in education, it should support quality education and career readiness rather than institutions that make empty promises.

I love to jump around, bounce around, and be active, which is one of the other reasons I decided to pursue a career in the kitchen. I work 12-18 hours a day, and most of it is spent doing just that - jumping, bouncing, and baking.

I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship.

I'd love to say I made the smart decision of picking projects that became hits, but with 'The Good Wife,' I read the script and something inside me said, 'I love this, I want to do this.'
