Every time I do a film, I have to make sure that when someone looks at me, they can't recognise Disha. It has to be a character. I want to do strong roles.
I never want to pigeonhole myself or get typecast. I'm looking forward to my career and showing all of my range as an actress, and I'm looking at other mediums, too. I'm a theater actress first. And I cannot wait to return to the stage.
I would have done it happily, but to be a Bond girl isn't everything I aim for as an actress.
I don't just want to be a cute girl in a comedy or the actress who just does the same thing over and over again. I want to play roles that are distinct. I want to have a more varied career like actresses Viola Davis or Angela Bassett - those are the people that I grew up watching and admiring.
I'm a very ambitious girl. I'll go wherever there is a good part.
I wanted to be a serious actress and do all the classics.
I was always wanting to learn and be one of those actresses who can actually hold a conversation as opposed to standing there looking pretty.
I'd like to drift into Jessica Tandy-type parts.
I'm certainly not on a mission to be taken seriously as a dramatic actress, any more than I am just to be able to get roles that are exciting and satisfying to me. If that means action, then that means action.
