I haven't signed as many films as I'd like to because there are no good roles, as disheartening as it is to say.

People often ask me why I don't take up more heroine-oriented roles. My question is, 'Where are these roles?' I really appreciate actresses who sign only films with meaty roles. However, there aren't too many of them. The industry is simply male-dominated.

I am done with the cliched heroine roles. I can't go to work without a challenge. I want to do films that drive me, films in which I am a part of the main plot.

I never look at how many songs I have or how many girls are there in a movie. If I like my character, I play it.

There are thousands of good-looking women out there. Longevity for a heroine doesn't come only with good looks: talent matters.

I am my biggest critic. Even in films where people said they liked me, I have disliked myself.
