My style is an extension of acting and an outcome of some serious lessons I picked up learning when I did theatre in my early days.

It is hurtful to read things which are not true. I am learning to focus only on my work and not pay heed to any negativity.

Every artist says that he/she wants to do something challenging, and I'm not any different. If someone approaches me with a serious role, I'll be more than happy.

It's not easy for an outsider to understand this industry.

A girl child who is even a little bit educated is more conscious of family planning, health care and, in turn, her children's own education.

I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do in school, but I definitely didn't have adequate time to reach my full potential as a student.

At school, I was the classroom clown - I was always being thrown out for being naughty. Before I left, a teacher called me in and suggested I became an actor.

The total loss of hearing was a process that lasted more than a decade, but it was sufficiently gradual for me to attend Sydney Boys' High School and to profit from the teaching there.
