I am not in Bollywood for item songs. I have to do some meaty roles and realistic films.
It's been eight years now that I have been working in Bollywood and have done everything - from item songs to character roles to reality shows.
I am not running after money in Bollywood, I am experimenting with films and roles here.
People often ask me why I don't take up more heroine-oriented roles. My question is, 'Where are these roles?' I really appreciate actresses who sign only films with meaty roles. However, there aren't too many of them. The industry is simply male-dominated.
What matters to me is being part of good films and doing meaty roles.
I am tired of saying no to item songs. I don't want to be known as an item number girl.
If you have a meaty part to play, I don't see the harm in being part of multi-starrers. Moreover, I will be happy to be a part of a good film than playing lead roles in some bad films.
I can't dance like Hrithik Roshan. I don't have the necessary glamour like some of the other actors do. They are able to sell themselves on that aspect. I do roles and films which are very realistic. So, in those films, if you don't get into the skin of it, they won't look convincing.
I have never thought about creating an image for myself in Bollywood. I am an actor and just want to experiment with roles. I am ready to do all type of roles.
I have always stuck to my on-screen image and I have no complaints as I have got some meaty roles coming my way.
I've become a huge fan of small films and realistic roles.
I am not a part of Bollywood. Nobody cares about me in Bollywood and I have mentally resigned from Bollywood long ago. I am an independent filmmaker.
Films with female protagonists don't attract many eyeballs. Most of them are perceived as feminist films. If Bollywood starts giving women major roles in entertaining movies, then the audience, too, will open up to the idea of watching commercial films in which the actresses do more than just play the role of the hero's love interest.
Everybody says they want good films and when one turns up, they go watch item songs.
I want to thank Bollywood for accepting me and loving me the way I am and my songs. Bollywood has given me the reach.
It is great that the industry is open to accepting character roles and moving away from the cliched Bollywood Hindi masala films.
There are very few roles you actually get to perform for women. There aren't many woman-oriented films made in Bollywood.
