The actress suffered major injuries, her face was severely damaged and it took a long time for her to recover. But she is back now, and all charged up, hoping to catch up on the time and opportunities that she may have lost. It's tough to get a foothold in showbiz, she's aware, but she wants to give it her best shot. Excerpts from an interview:
Aashiqui was a huge hit, but you didn't do too many films after that. Why?
To begin with, let me clear one of the biggest misunderstandings there is about me. The accident was in no way instrumental in my leaving the entertainment business, I was out way before that. At a time when I was super successful, I was facing the dark night of the soul. Ironically, when the world thought I had everything, I was the unhappiest ever. So in 1994, I stopped signing new films. I travelled abroad and a top Hollywood agency even wanted to sign up with me in 1996. I was excited, but I also wanted to self-develop, so I ended up joining the Bihar School of Yoga in 1997. That transformed me.
Two years later, in 1999, you met with an accident which changed the course of your life. How did you deal with that?
