I was very nervous about speaking in Punjabi. I have learnt it by heart.
Being a Punjabi, it is very hard to say this, but Punjabi food is very overrated.
We are trying our best to spread the culture of Punjabi music all over the world. With the traditional rigid Punjabi music, people always had a myth that the music is very conventional, but nowadays, we are really thrilled to see how people are loving the tunes and beats of Punjabi music.
As a true-blue Punjabi, I have learnt to tackle disappointments, especially since I have no godfather in the industry.
My father spoke with something very similar to a 1920s newscaster type of English, and I learnt that accent of power in post-colonial Zimbabwe. So I learnt that, and I learnt how to copy it, and I learnt how to shift in and out of it, but also talk like my mother's relatives in the village.
I always wanted to play a Punjabi girl because I always found them very colourful, in a way. There's always a spark to all the Punjabi girls I've seen onscreen.
I doubt if anything learnt at school is of more value than great literature learnt by heart.
I was very nervous about the accent. I was very nervous about being an American.
And I also am very nervous about implants. You know, I'm just nervous about all that. So I could still do it. I could think about it. But I needed to adapt to myself.
I was very nervous about going up to teach at Stanford and very nervous even about going to ARPA.
Medically speaking, there is no such thing as a nervous breakdown. Which is very annoying to discover when you're right in the middle of one.
The Punjabi food has its own taste. It's not just about one food item but the Punjabi food is itself world-renowned.
I believe that's when God first started speaking to my heart--the very day I started speaking to His!
Broadly speaking, nervous women may be divided into two classes - those who are really nervous, and those who imagine themselves to be so.
I know that gossip comes with a territory. It's a professional hazard, and while initially, I'd get a little riled, I've now learnt to handle it well. And honestly speaking, it's all very good publicity, isn't it?
Seeing Pax get extra-nervous about which shirt he is going to wear when he meets Aung San Suu Kyi, I get very moved. He rightfully doesn't get nervous going to a movie premiere; he gets nervous going to meet her.
In 'Godha,' I was a Punjabi girl and had Hindi, English and Punjabi dialogues.
