I wrote what it was like growing up as a female in India, and I got two and a half million shares, and people came up to me and thanked me for speaking up.

Very bad roles were coming my way, and I didn't want to do them. Hence, I was doing small films like 'Delhi Belly,' where, though the footage wasn't long, the role was good.

Travelling by myself is always more of an adventure: I meet more people. I experience the place to the fullest. I'm on my own schedule.

TV and appointment viewing is a thing of the past for the youth.

You don't have to wait for your career to take off to become a mum: that's kind of what I want to show. Becoming a mum made me even more driven, and I think it doesn't stop your career - it just boosts it. It makes you well-organised, and with a little bit of sacrifice, of course you can do it all.

Don't leave your job without getting an acting offer. Very few people in the industry are lucky to get a film without much struggle and be successful.

God that's a great game. I wish I'd played my whole career in flag football.

I'm only at the beginning of my career, but I feel successful in that I haven't sold out in any way, shape or form. I feel good about the choices I've made, and I don't feel like I've let go of any of my values.
