Ever since I started, I think Bollywood has gone through a lot of changes. Film producers now want to experiment with their movie's music and that's why you see many of them working with independent musicians.
I started working since I was four years old. All I remember is I wanted to become a star.
I started out as a dancer as a kid; I've been dancing since I was 4. So, performing was always part of what I was. I don't know if it I enjoyed the response I got from people or if I liked having an audience, but there's something in me that wanted to perform.

I have had a very singular kind of life since I started working so young, so I am very used to traveling, working, taking time for myself.
When I first started working with Victoria's Secret, I wanted to get stronger. That was something I wanted to build on and really be as strong and powerful as I could be. Working with Victoria's Secret, I started really thinking about my body and my muscles.
In fact, one of my good friends is an amazing Bollywood choreographer. She once asked me to perform in one of her shows in college. So, I have danced to the Bollywood music and it was great fun. It is tiring and requires a certain level of fitness.
I used to do a lot of story writing and storytelling coming up through grade school. By the time I got to college, I decided that I wanted to perform as well, and that's where I started.
I've been singing since I was 8 years old and working in clubs since I was 14. I've been working full time since I was 16.
I started modelling in college, but it was part time since I was kind of nerdy and wanted to finish my studies.
I find the working pattern to be the same in Bollywood as well as Tollywood. Especially because most directors of photography from the Telugu industry operate in Bollywood, too.
I got my big break in Bollywood with Anurag Kashyap's 'Raman Raghav 2.0' when I got a call from one of the casting directors to appear for an audition. At that point, I didn't think that I would make the cut since I was auditioning for a Bollywood film for the very first time. Within an hour of the audition, I was told that I had been selected.
I really respect Telugu cinema and the fact that people out here have a totally different style of working and are at par with Bollywood. Sometimes, they beat Bollywood with the kind of films they make.
I moved out after college, and I started working right away, and I've been working ever since.
Since I left the Premier League the first time, I wanted to come back.
I think when I started acting, the whole time I was working towards one day coming to America. Hollywood, in particular, is seen to be the center of this industry, and I was just waiting for the right time to come.
