• “I never wanted to belong to a crowd. I never had a herd mentality…I always knew what I wanted and I made sure I got it. And I always knew that I wanted to be an actress. I exist because I can act. I will not sit here and say, ‘Arrey, by chance, offer aa gaya’ (I got the offer by chance). No, I made acting happen to me. The first opportunity I got to act, I grabbed it. Nobody had even heard of me till a couple of years ago. But it’s by sheer hard work and focus that I am here. Also, I think I chose the right scripts.

It seems a really long trip from Rohtak to Cannes. The walk down the red carpet on Jackie Chan’s arm, dining with Salma Hayek, George Lucas, Harry Weinstein….meeting them, sharing a conversation with them. And these are people I admire so much, they are the who’s who of the world cinema and I was meeting them in the flesh! I felt a great sense of achievement. I felt so important there. And I wasn’t there in Cannes as a model or anything like that. Jackie Chan launched me there as an actress! I made my debut in Cannes! Madonna made her first statement in Cannes when she wore the conical bra, Brigitte Bardot and Grace Kelly were launched there…” (Cine Bliitz magazine, July 2005)
