When my first film flopped, I got damn depressed.
I want people to see my movies.
My life and time are important to me.
Only your work is your hands, and I focus on that.
There is an unrealistic pressure to perform like Kamal Haasan, and it's unnatural, because he's been in the industry for so many years, I don't even take the comparisons seriously.
I try and watch as many different films as I can because every film has something to offer.
I watch and appreciate all genres.
I will never endorse a fairness product because I was not comfortable growing up being the darkest person in my family. Also, I won't endorse alcohol, as I believe that it's not good for health.
I'm a musician, and I discovered the power of music pretty early in life.
Playing music and singing are my forms of meditation.
With music, I'm transported to a place that radiates positive frequencies and immediately eases my worries.
Music has always taken me to my 'thinking place' - the one place that makes me dwell on the meaning of things and ponder why things are the way they are.
If having it easy means there are more doors open to you, then one must not forget that you still have to navigate your life yourself.
I was satisfied with my role in 'Luck,' and I am proud of the film.
When I work with different musicians, I draw a lot of things from them, and that has really expanded my musical thinking.
I'm trained in classical music, and my favourites have always been rock n' roll and blues, but I've grown up with different kinds of music around me because of my parents.
My mother herself is a very independent woman, and I've had a leading example in this respect. And my father is a very liberal father who has always taught us to question things. He lives life on his own terms and stands by his beliefs. So, he has also been a great example.
If you have a five-second role in a film, and those five seconds make sense, then that is what matters.
As an actress, I should be playing my parts with conviction; otherwise, the audience won't be convinced.
I really love picking up subjects where people say, 'How is this going to work?' and trying to find a way to make it work because every story needs to be told.
