When I was young, I would get my tailor to replicate Madhuri Dixit's costumes.
I don't think I will ever get married. I say so because I feel it is outdated, marriage is outdated.
I have been labelled bold because I stand up and say that I am an urban independent Indian woman; and I do as I please and refuse to bow down to certain dictates laid down by men.
I'm a big fan of directors like Zhang Yimou, Wong Kar Wai, Chen Kaige, Stanley Tong, Suhar, Ringo Lam, there are so many actresses like Gong Li, Anita Mui who are so inspiring. I would love to work with them and do cinema like that.
I'm here not just as an actress but as a woman, an African-American, a granddaughter of Ellis Island immigrants, a person who could not have afforded college without the help of student loans and as one of millions of volunteers working to re-elect President Obama!
