I'm a Hindu and a Nepali by birth.
I believe in all the secular values that Indian democracy is famous for.
I don't miss what has passed. I am enjoying the present. I am not one of those people who live in the past.
Women have started speaking their minds, and men have graciously started accepting that. I love this.
I think I am more liberated as an artiste in my late 40s.
Being a woman, I want to look pretty in every phase of my life.
I have done my share of looking glamorous on-screen in many films.
We tend to not value anything that we get for free.
I think when an actress is good, roles in mid-forties is a great thing.
Some directors are like poets.
I came from an affluent family, am well-known and well-read.
Cancer treatment is very expensive, and the process is painful and long. This is something that we have to collectively think about, on how to make it affordable.
Yes, I tend to be self-critical at times. This is because during my cancer period - while I was going through the whole process of treatment - I had time to reflect.
I do feel at a loss for not having a child of my own at times, very much so.
By and large, I think female directors are far more sensitive.
Earlier, I was traveling all over the world. Then I got married. Everyone presumed I had lost interest in my career. That was not true.
I was supposed to direct a film on Gautam Buddha. That didn't work out. A pity, because the entire script had been written. It was in English.
I am completely a director's actor. If the director gives me the liberty and freedom, then I give my inputs. Otherwise, I just follow instructions.
On one hand, I want to be successful and give my best to everything I do, but I don't want to be too consumed by anything.
When I look at my audience, I think life has been kind.
