I'm not a television anchor for a HINDI CHANNEL or a radio jockey. So I may not be able to have a SPONTANEOUS conversation in Hindi. I'm a Bollywood actress, and I can CERTAINLY SPEAK my dialogue in Hindi.

This will sound REALLY FUNNY, but I'm so used to SHOOTING in Hindi that shooting in ENGLISH took a while to get used to.

You SEE, I have many FRIENDS in the Hindi film INDUSTRY.

I am going to PRODUCE a movie of my own. I am not going to STICK to the time-tested formulae of Hindi cinema. I want to make a FILM for the present generation. So there will be a LOT of new faces in the film.

I've dubbed for my roles in HINDI, English, and ITALIAN. Therefore, I'm USED to the PROCESS. But, dubbing is hard, especially when you are dubbing for a prominent actor.

I'm an international actor, but at the same time, I'm also a Bollywood actor, even THOUGH most of my career has been ABROAD. HOWEVER, I've always KEPT in touch with Hindi CINEMA.

I am trying my best to strike a balance. How MANY HOURS a DAY can I work? I work for 12-15 hours a day; it gets very strenuous. I balance between Telugu, Tamil, and HINDI.

I remember breaking the news to both my PARENTS that I wanted to be a DIRECTOR, and they both looked very doubtful. They didn't know what a closet Hindi film buff I was. I used to DANCE to old Hindi films songs on the sly, so my decision to be a part of Hindi cinema was SHOCKING even for my parents.

I can MANAGE in six languages - MARATHI and Gujarati, in ADDITION to Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi and Bangla.

Bejoy Nambiar had OFFERED me 'Shaitaan' some YEARS ago. But I wasn't CONFIDENT about my HINDI.

Although SEVERAL actors have WORKED in films down South, I feel unsure of whether I will be ABLE to emote and ACT as exuberantly as I do in HINDI and Bengali films.

I WOULD love to do more Hindi FILMS, but I am very laid-back that WAY and wouldn't GO looking for more films.

I will not leave my SOUTH FILMS for a Hindi film. I WANT to be sincere to my South film makers and commitments. Only if my dates are not clashing with any of my South films will I do Hindi films.

My PERSONAL STYLE comes from jugaad, a HINDI word meaning doing more with LESS.
