I didn't know how to act, but I was open to learning. I was not delusional that looks would help me sail through.

It is funny now, but in the beginning of my career, some of the films failed at the box office, and filmmakers stopped casting me, saying I am bringing bad luck to their film.

Post 'Pink,' I figured out which direction I want my career to take.

No matter how beautiful actors are, it is not easy to look drop-dead gorgeous in every shot in a commercial film. To carry yourself as if you are the diva, it is not an easy job.

It is a peculiar part of the good photographer's adventure to know where luck is most likely to lie in the stream, to hook it, and to bring it in without unfair play and without too much subduing it.

Travel, for me, is a little bit like being in love because suddenly, all your senses are at the setting marked 'on.' Suddenly, you're alert to the secret patterns of the world.

For years, I had no time for exploratory travel.

I always wanted to do action-adventure, and science fiction genres were always something that were of great interest to me.
