I debuted in Bollywood without inhibitions, and I don't want to develop any fears now. Nothing is more detrimental to an actor than the lack of total surrender.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As an actress I feel that if you start to impose your own inhibitions, then you are not doing your job.
The only fear I have is that I will wake up one day and nobody will allow me to do films. This is a fear every actor has.
My biggest fear as an actor is being involved in something mediocre, or being mediocre myself.
I fear other actors who are not prepared. And I fear directors who are afraid.
When I entered Bollywood, I didn't have any advantage over anyone. I didn't know how to act, I was not from the industry, I didn't know the language, and I didn't know how to dance. So, whatever films I was getting, I was just taking them up.
The thing about Bollywood is that you can't just quit it even if you have little fame. You have to stick around and keep trying.
For me, I had to overcome shyness to be an actor. But as a director, you lose your subjectivity, your self-consciousness. And instead of just your role, it's the life of the whole play that becomes a reflection of you.
I was so shy, I couldn't stand up in front of people and speak. Now I'm in the next big three Bollywood movies.
When you are an actor, rejection and disappointment are an occupational hazard.
When you're feeling very comfortable with an actor, you are doing nothing.
