For me, a director is a director immaterial of the gender. At the end of the day, the audience is only interested in watching a good film.

To find one's calling is perhaps not the easiest thing in the world, but probably the most important.

Nothing was planned in my career. I just went with the flow and took everything that came to me. Selling potato chips was obvious, as it was a family business. When friends suggested I should try theatre, I gave it a shot. Then I did a lot of advertisements, and then movies happened.

I used to follow celebrities, and I remember I watched Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt shooting for 'Sadak'. I was standing on the road at three in the night, but little did I know that I would be making a film with Sanjay at some point in my career.

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.

My brother and I were separated when I was a child; we went with different parents.

I think as a child you know when it's time for your parents to split. You realise they love each other, but they're not in love with each other. And I think as a child it's much better for your parents to split than for them to stay and have dysfunction within the family.

I guess more than anything, I just realized, okay, one day I had a home to live in and my family around me. The next day, I did not.
