I believe India has multi-talented people, so I have also embarked on my journey as an actor. I don't need to be a celebrity, since tennis has already given fame to me.

I'm very proud to be a professional tennis player. I'm really happy to be doing something that I love. With this comes responsibility, and I am honored when I am told that I have inspired someone to play tennis.

I have a passion for playing tennis and enjoy the workload and struggles of performing in this amazing global sport.

Acting is a sport - especially working with Mark Rylance. There is competition involved. I have to be muscular, challenging, get audiences on side. It's extraordinary how Globe audiences join in - it's like competing at an event - I love it.

I've been very focused on my career outside of tennis.

My professional acting life, stage and screen, has brought me public support, emotional fulfillment and material comfort. It has brought me together with fine people, good companions with whom I've shared the inevitable lot of all actors: flops and hits.

Tennis has given me this wonderful life and I'm very grateful for it.

I am an actress and acting is my passion... period!

I always wanted to help make tennis a team sport.

I was blessed with my career. I passionately love acting. And it's given me a good livelihood.
