How did you get into the movie industry?

I started off as a young girl got into the industry without having a film background. I had my struggles initially. I had flops and I had hits.

South India was very lucky for me. I got great luck from the South Indian film industry. Infact one astrologer had told me that if I want luck on my side then South India is where your stars are. That was stuck in my brain and I went down South and worked in a couple of movies. All of them were hits and simultaneously my Hindi movies were also hits.

Which language were you most comfortable in?

Out of all the languages, I have always been most comfortable in Hindi I learnt the other languages too.

Please share some interesting experiences working in the film industry?

Working in the industry has taught me a lot. There have been highs and lows, but I've learnt so much. I desperately wanted to fit in and went through a lot of pressure and probably made a few mistakes too. I wasn't from the industry, so I had those challenges too for not being an insider. It was hard to maneuvre but once I found my way, specially doing south Indian movies a long with movies in Bollywood, I made my name. Not just that I actually managed with no star family support. The biggest challenge was myself. I never believed in myself enough. I always thought that everything was a fluke. I really feel bad that I did that to myself. I've learnt about self love today. I now appreciate myself and know that everything has come from my hard work. At that time I just doubted myself too much.
