When I came to know that director Sujoy Ghosh wanted me for a role in a Hindi film, I was very surprised. I had never met him before.
I am 100-films old. In my heyday, I have done a lot of commercial films, including dancing around the trees with the heroine.

Once, a man at the customs duty check at the Delhi Airport asked me a question in Hindi, and I told him that I didn't speak the language. He got angry and said, 'How could you not speak in Hindi? Hindi is our mother tongue.' I told him that it wasn't my mother tongue. He got furious, and made me wait for over 45 minutes.
My father is my idol, and I have grown up watching his films. He is my biggest influence and inspiration. I have learnt a lot from him, and I am who I am because of him. I'm extremely grateful to him for that.

Now I know Hindi, and I can read and write Hindi, but the problem is that I can't improvise when I am acting because I think in English, so I have to translate my thinking from English to Hindi, and therefore, I speak slowly.
It feels great to be a part of 'Wajah Tum Ho.' I am super excited, this will be my first Hindi project where I play the lead.
I don't want you to praise me...Some praise me because I am a colored girl, and I don't want that kind of praise. I had rather you would point out my defects, for that will teach me something.
Based on a taut screenplay by Nabendu Ghosh, 'Do Anjane' was a Hindi adaptation of Nihar Ranjan Gupta's famous Bengali novel, 'Ratrir Yatri.' It was my first chance to rub shoulders with the immensely talented Amitabh Bachchan and we went on to become a super hit pair.
My most memorable role would have to be Agnes Calay of 'Forevermore,' probably because it was my first lead role.
