A Quote by Ladyhawke

In 'The Trip,' I play the character named Ananya Makhija, a Delhi girl who wants to get married.

There are some who expect every game to make a dramatic change the way that 'Resident Evil 4' did over its predecessors. And for that series I think the change was fantastic and completely necessary.
