    “I think the first film where I felt a significant shift in my personality was the film ‘Highway’. Maybe it was because I was on the road for so long, away from home. The first time I really had an experience like that was like going away to college but only my college was a film set.”

    She continued: “Perhaps after that, it was a film like ‘Udta Punjab,’ which was a character that made me very uncomfortable.

If you’re the best actor in the room, soon there will be another actor that will walk into the room who will be better than you.”
