I will try exercise my freedom of speech by avoiding legalities.
It is very easy to play a sweet girl-next-door but difficult to portray a grey character.
In normal life, we are all sweet and not vamp. So, to play a villain a lot of focus is required.
I am a learner and always learning. I want to push myself to the farthest limits.
I am always experimenting with roles.

I faced a lot of backlash when I spoke about being sexually harassed by Dibakar Banerjee. Not directly, but indirectly, I was boycotted by the entire fraternity that supported the director, because it is a male-dominated set-up.
In fact, I had never imagined that seven years after my ordeal, the #MeToo movement will start and that I will be talking about it all over again. This is nothing but karma. Dibakar has directed six films, even though I didn't get any films after I went public with my allegations.
I blindly trust Sangram.

Feminism in India is very fake.
I do not come from the industry. But I have realized that it's very important to work with senior directors and good production houses. It makes a lot of difference.
I love wearing saris, and everyone around me tells me I look good in them.
Slumdog Millionaire has been a great achievement. It has opened the doors of Hollywood for Indian cinema.
My fans will see me in a lot of different roles.
Kumbh Mela is the best way to get an insight of our culture.
