I, for one, personally like rom-coms, silly rom-coms, but at the same time, I also want to watch a documentary or an award-winning drama.
Theatre is really an actor's playground.
It's great to come home always... coming home to good south Indian meals or Andhra food is always a pleasure.
I think beauty shows exteriorly what you are feeling inside; so if you are not in a great mood, it shows on your face a lot.
I do like to dress up, and I love to go for red carpet events and look my best, but I have to be comfortable, and I don't want to wear make-up when I am taking a flight.
Being a feminist means asking for equality. But people take it the other way at times. It is looked down upon is because it is seen as man-hating. But, feminism is a really crazy idea that suggests men and women are equal.
Women are not a doormat. We are equivalent to men. It is just that we have different bodies and different biological needs.
Yes, India is intolerant towards women, at least when it comes to their safety issues. When I was shooting in Jharkhand, I was constantly being followed by two soldiers to ensure that I was safe. Women are so unsafe in our country.
There's a lot of pressure on women to look in a certain way. It's not easy to live in a world that objectifies women.
You shouldn't feel awkward in your own body and constantly try to be an image for somebody else. You should to be comfortable in it.

When I was studying in London, I worked part-time as a waitress. I was teaching drama to kids. I did a lot of odd jobs to pay for my studies.
People like Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Ranaut are really paving the way for successful women.
I don't believe in becoming famous overnight.
I was born in Pondicherry. Both my parents are French. They met in Pondicherry in the '70s, got married, and stayed back in India.
In India, you can just show up at a friend's house, and they will feed you; you can borrow someone's clothes and touch each other. In London, they would say, 'Oh, let's meet for coffee at 4:15, and we will talk about, I don't know, this play that we saw.'
Theatre is my first love; I would not have done it if I didn't love it and certainly not for the money - you really have to believe in it.
I cry at the drop of a hat.
Every role that one does - at least, that's what happens in my case - becomes a sort of therapy.
I don't have any limitations that I only want to do serious films. I am trying to break that image but not very consciously.
