I was very excited and interested as a background dancer or as a theatre actor or when I was working on TV, or even on the film which didn't do well, like 'Byomkesh.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had been a ballet dancer and never could make a living, and just being so excited that I got to, all of a sudden, live as an actor.
I was always going to be a dancer - I drifted into acting.
When I was a dancer, I was acting.
I was never hungry for this kind of attention; it was the love of performing that got me interested in acting.
I was a dancer first, which made me realize how much I loved performing.
I came into the industry as an actor. And moved on to become a star with the help of my dancing skills.
Other acting opportunities had come along, but nothing that was tantalizing enough to me to step away from what I found most interesting.
I was embarrassed that I even wanted to become an actress because coming from L.A., with two older sisters in the business and a mom who had been a ballet dancer, it was such a cliche.
I actually wanted to be an exotic dancer, but that didn't work out so I thought I'd take on acting.
I was very interested in theatre, mostly in stage design. I did a little bit of acting.
