Films do have a very big impact on the youth, but the youth do have the quality to differentiate what is right and what is wrong!

I was keen on dancing, and acting offers were coming in. I was ready to enter the industry, but my parents felt I had to get educated. I protested, but now, I see their logic.

I always go crazy over every scene and have to discuss it with my director many times. Even Sekhar Kammula, who directed me in 'Fidaa,' knows this.

I was sent off to study in Georgia to keep me from movies. When I outgrow this film career, I will become a practicing doctor. I want to specialize in cardiology.

Playing mother to grown-up kids does not allure me much. I will not feel comfortable. Also, my fans will not like me with grey hair.

People who work for me know that family comes first. And I'm fortunate to have a family that is very supportive of the work I do, so I don't have to live two separate lives.

My father read 'The New York Times,' my mother did secretarial work, we had a dog, we had a garden, I had a brother.

With a warm drink, in a rocking chair and family and friends around, I am working on finding peace and joy in the moments we have been given. It doesn't have to all make sense. I don't have all the answers.
