But, as an actor, the role that I enjoyed, in terms of really understanding and appreciating this profession, was Anoop Singh’s 'Qissa'."

I think we still have a long way to go in understanding that feminist and femininity are not opposites.

Very often when we talk about war, conflict or terrorism, we talk about it very politically. We forget that there are people involved.

Memories come out only when you spend time with a person.

I couldn't be happier with my career.

As an actor, it is my job to prepare for the role I am playing.

It is nice to have a lot of people watch your work but I really have thought of it as not the goal of my career but a bonus in my career.

Whenever I work on a role, I always allow it to subconsciously take me to a place that is magical and unexpected, rather than consciously driving it to a place.

Salaam Bombay' and 'Monsoon Wedding' are the two Mira Nair films I go back to.

The way you get to explore a city when you are on shoot is so different from when you are there as a tourist.

In fact, it is more interesting to play someone whose politics is not in sync with my own politics because then I have to understand a different kind of mind and that becomes more interesting as an actor.

It is exciting to see the different genres that audiences want to watch. The response to a show like 'Mirzapur' last year and to Delhi Crime earlier this year was so encouraging and a proof that good content is the new formula.
