I grew up seeing a lot of theatre, and it was theatre that really seduced me into acting - not film or television.
I've learnt that there's acting for film, acting for theatre, and acting for an audition.
Ive had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.

I'd quite like to do a film but I'd also love to do more theatre. I want to keep challenging myself with good roles. It's harder for women because there aren't as many challenging roles.
Acting in the theatre is fun; acting in film is work.
The acting bug just seemed to stick with me. I loved going to theatre school in college and continued to train in film classes and had been auditioning for T.V. and movie roles since I was in my late teens. My career has been slow and steady, and I kind of like it that way.
I never made a clear-cut in my mind between theatre and film, as I always felt that at the heart of both of them is storytelling and acting.
Film acting is so different from theatre acting, and TV is about letting things pay off and not winning every scene.
Acting is acting, whether you do it on TV, film, web, theatre or ads. It depends on the person, time and situation, what the individual wants to choose.
Pass the popcorn, please. Life is a film, theatre, a theatre of the soul. We play different roles on different stages. At death, we walk offstage. At birth, we walk onstage.
After my schooling, I started theatre. By the time I graduated, I was doing theatre 24x7. Luckily, the FTII (Film and Television Institute of India) acting course started.
The roles for women in theatre are much better than they are in film.
When I was at drama school I wanted to do classical theatre. It just so happened that I did a film when I came out and I moved that way.
When I started out, I was very vociferously against theatre or what I saw theatre as being, so I tried to make my plays the opposite of that - something a bit more cinematic. I'm a film kid, so I'll never have the same love of theatre as I do of movies. It's just the way I was brought up.
Theatre has always been my passion. It never happened to me that theatre took a back seat in my life. I have never stopped doing it even after joining the film industry, and I intend to perform it lifelong.
