I never planned to do female roles. It just happened. I was typecast.
I never planned on being an actress, just as I never planned on being a model. I went to law and international-relations school. It wasn't my direction. It kind of happened to me. And because it wasn't my dream when I started, I wasn't starstruck.
I'm naturally athletic, and I think playing strong, female roles just kind of happened.
I am conscious about not getting typecast, but obviously I have to keep picking up great roles so that I don't get typecast.
I was not only typecast as a Russian, but I was typecast as Yakov Smirnoff. This is understandable, and I was very happy to get the roles, but it would be nice to be in a movie where I could be someone else.
I have never feared of being typecast as I tried to do different roles on television.
For a long time, way back in the ’30s and ’40s, there were fabulous female roles. Bette Davis and all those people had incredible, great roles. After World War II, something happened where it was not only "get out of the factories," but "get out of the movies." That's when women's roles started to really [change].
I never planned to act in Malayalam. 'Yakshiyum Njanum' just happened and everything else just followed.
I never really planned on making action films. It just kind of happened.
I don't want to be typecast as a heroine doing just glamorous roles.
I have been very lucky that I never got typecast while playing female characters.
I never set out in the beginning of my career just to play female roles.
I've never planned any of my career moves. Things have just happened, and luckily, they've worked out for the best.
I never planned on being an actress or Wonder Woman, but everything just happened, and I am grateful and happy and in love with what I do.
I never planned to join Black Sabbath - it just happened. It was back in 1979 when they were celebrating their 10th anniversary.
There are certain aspects of me that can be bad-ass sometimes, but being able to push it to the extreme is something I'd love to play. You don't get those roles, as a female, and especially as an indigenous female. There aren't those roles out there, so I want that. I want women to see a strong, sexy female without showing her body too much.
I am a product of the Film and Television Institute of India, so I never categorised my roles, but yes I was typecast by the producers and the directors as a villain.
