I wanted to be an actress at a very early age and then decided to become an orthodontist after working in Dr. Richard Boyd's office in high school.
I'm a student. I want to do better, and I want directors who can find the actress in me and be my teachers. I'm interested in the whole process of editing, post-production and direction.
I felt that I should become a film actress first, and then come back to serials and earn good remuneration from it.
There are many Bollywood actresses who work in the South and speak Tamil or Malayalam, and though it is correct, we find it funny sometimes.
I feel there are a very few actresses who can perform really well. I want to be one among them.
I always get told by women that they would love a daughter-in-law like me. That's big, because not too many people seem to want their son to marry an actress!
To be perfectly honest with you, having a mother as an actress - who I watched struggle tremendously during my childhood - and to watch fluctuations of ups and downs is difficult. She did mainly television, so I think I associated that with a life of inconsistency. As I've come into my own, I realize it has nothing to do with the medium.
It was a lot of fun being a child actress. It suited me. I don't think it suits everybody, but I was in it because I had a passion, not because my parents wanted me to make money. If other kids want to do it, and they really like acting, go for it.
I wanted to work with Cate Blanchett. She is one of the five greatest movie actresses of her generation.
Obviously, I pay for the fact I was an actress once. But it was a job like any other, because I never did anything scandalous.
