We were a Doordarshan household... with a curfew. So after lights out at 10 P.M., we could barely keep up with the latest films of the time. So even thinking about becoming an actress was unfathomable.

For the day, keep it simple, basic, minimalistic, natural. Stick to peaches and pinks. For night, you can add colour to your eyes, make them smoky, and also use shimmer and bronzer. Night make up also calls for louder lip colours.

I prefer eight hours of sound sleep at night. But on days when I can't, I try not to fuss about it and keep taking power naps through the day.

I am an actress, so my fans or the large audience should look at me as an actress on screen and love or hate me based on my performance.

I am ready to go super bold. I would like to thank not just my husband but even my in-laws, who have had no problems with my bold characters. You may find it surprising that we all discuss my scripts on the dining table.
