"Filmmaking, it has been my first love."
"There’s a difference between being a star and an actor. If you feed off from being in the public eye, this is the unfortunate flipside to it."
"It is exciting to see the different genres that audiences want to watch. The response to a show like 'Mirzapur' last year and to Delhi Crime earlier this year was so encouraging and a proof that good content is the new formula."
"I am enjoying the abundance and variety of work on the web."
"Infidelity is a fairly common occurrence in society but very often not spoken about."
"The kind of scripts I have read for web shows have been outstanding."
"I have also done a web show called 'Delhi Police'. It is about the investigation around the Nirbhaya case. It is also very path-breaking and interesting."
"But, as an actor, the role that I enjoyed, in terms of really understanding and appreciating this profession, was Anoop Singh’s 'Qissa'."
"The problem is never the audience, it has always been the distribution. The digital space is proof that the audience is quite accepting."
"Because I feel as actors we are required to be vulnerable, it is a part of our job. So the space that you are being vulnerable in should respect that, otherwise it is not worth it."
"If you are true at telling the story, it will get a good audience, and the required numbers."
"There is room and time for multiple tracks to flesh out in the web space. I enjoy this format."
"Women often get ignored from main narrative, especially in films."
"In Bombay, people usually tend to cast you in roles that you’ve played before. Even though they may consider you to be a talented actor, they just think it’s ‘safer’ to have you play the same kind of roles over and over again."
"There are very few parts, and very few scripts, that acknowledge women as sexual beings, or simply just recognise that women have desires."
"A well-written character is one where you don’t know in which direction it’s going; the character could spring a surprise any moment."
"I really enjoy watching animation films and I have always been curious about how such well-established actors in Hollywood lend their voices to animation films."
"I think we still have a long way to go in understanding that feminist and femininity are not opposites."
"Film is my favourite without a doubt. I am a film romantic and I love the grandeur of cinema. Dark theatres and big screens are my first love."
"It was been an absolute joy being in 'The Vagina Monologues' for so many years. I think the play is truly special."
"As a society, we need to create an environment that encourages women to make the choices that are available to them and encourages them to speak their mind."
"No matter what situation you are in, if you need help, you should be able to ask for it."
"In fact, it is more interesting to play someone whose politics is not in sync with my own politics because then I have to understand a different kind of mind and that becomes more interesting as an actor."
"If the story is insensitive to a person and is not nuanced enough, that’s a story I don’t want to be a part of. Otherwise there is no other character that I don’t want to play."
"‘Slice of life’ is not a genre I had experimented with much, and it’s quite difficult."
