Everyone goes on about how Bombay is so similar to New York, so I had see what the big deal was. The bustling crowds are the same, but it's a lot quieter, it's a lot cleaner, and it's not humid. I think the energy is very similar to Bombay.

From Tena Desae

I think 'Slumdog' was probably the first big film that happened in India, but even that seemed like a one-off thing.

From Tena Desae

I don't plan, because everything goes against my plans anyways. There's absolutely no point in planning anything. I'm just enjoying the moment. I'm meeting with a whole lot of people - casting directors, directors, agents. I have things going on everywhere, but I have no solid plans.

From Tena Desae

Why should I have to say bye to one thing to do another? I can do lots of things at one time, and as much as I love to do films, I'd love to do ads as well!

From Tena Desae

I want to work in a bank, definitely. Hopefully, my acting career will go well. But if it doesn't, I go to a bank. If it does, then even at the age of 40, I will still go to a bank, but I have to work in a bank, because I'm really fond of taxation and accounts and investments and all of that. So I will do it. At some point, I will, yes.

From Tena Desae

My parents are really quite strict, so I have to be home at a certain time - even now, at the age of 25.

From Tena Desae

We don't kiss in public. It's not done.

From Tena Desae

I don't compare myself with Freida Pinto. She has come a long way. She does only films in the West. I am open to do both - Indian films and films from the West.

From Tena Desae

Don't be surprised if you all see me in different kinds of cinema.

From Tena Desae

I attend dance class every alternate day, and it works like a cardio workout for me. I also do weight training in the gym every alternate day.
