SHENAZ TREASURY

Being just an actor would be quite frustrating.

I encourage people to take the road less travelled, explore the abundant off-beat locations. Take road trips, soak in some breathtaking experiences, and enjoy the scenic landscapes that our country has to offer.

From avoiding littering to encouraging local economy, there is a lot each one of us can do that will go a long way in keeping the country's cultural legacy intact.

My career as an actress in the U.S. is actually taking off quite well.

I wrote what it was like growing up as a female in India, and I got two and a half million shares, and people came up to me and thanked me for speaking up.

I make money not so much from acting but my travelogue.

I am not a multi-tasker. When I do one thing, I fully concentrate on it and leave the other thing aside.

Whatever money I made, I did not buy an apartment or a car: I bought plane tickets and hotels and experiences.

Yashraj liked my writing style, and they had a concept in mind, so they hired me to write. That's how 'Luv Ka The End' was born. It was fantastic working with them. They are very professional. For the first time, I did not have to ask for my cheque. It was sent home, in time.

Whether it's Hollywood or Bollywood, sexual harassment is a reality. I've experienced it first-hand, and I know many of my counterparts have as well.

I worried about whether acting in Bollywood was my cup of tea - whether I could live up to it. But I enjoyed the filmi jhatkas.

I don't like travelling in groups. I like doing my own thing. I am quite a loner, actually.

We women are the same: I am always more attracted to the dangerous mystery man with piercing eyes and stubble rather than the clean-shaven 'puppy dog' type who is probably much better for me in the long run.

I never wanted to be famous; that was not my dream. I just like being creative.

I'm excited to play any character that is based in reality. And I'd be even more excited if I can add a comic element to my role.

I try to travel light.

I enjoy acting, and I would love to do a play in the future.

I believe in accepting whatever life offers with a laugh. So if things are dark and terrible, I try to find the funny side to it. Probably that's why I gravitate towards comedy.

I want to host and write a 'Sex in the City'-type travel show.

I do like playing smart women who can be sexy and are taken seriously.

I started doing American films and TV before Priyanka, but of course I do small roles in big films, and I don't have the publicity machine working around me.

Hate American toilets with only toilet paper and no bidets.

Hosting is pretty natural to me, since I was doing it as a kid.

After my first ad, I was flooded with offers, which I took up. Soon, I decided that it could be a lucrative business with a parallel college life.

In college, they taught us to think of a bad smell or simulate a bad taste to start crying. I just think of my ex-boyfriend!
