I am working for various NGOs and looking after my home.

I had to take a decision. Do I pursue dance, my passion, or help my mother out? The movies beckoned.

It's incredible being a woman. I was, of course, fortunate to have an Irish mother who is an empowered woman. She comes from the western culture where women's rights and empowerment happened much earlier in the 19th century.

When you start off as a dancer, you don't become one overnight; you must train for more than a decade.

I juggle so many hats that it takes something really special to convince me to get back to acting in films or TV serials.
