Even before I auditioned for 'X Factor' the second time, I was doing a lot of dance music.
I always knew I wanted to be involved in entertainment in some way. But I really can't say I'd be where I am now if I hadn't been on 'American Idol.'
I didn't know what I was in for when I joined 'The X Factor' - I underestimated it.
Young people don't want to be second to anyone. Everyone wants to be an overnight star. Look how many years I had to wait, how many roads I had to travel, how many songs I had to sing. And now I'm just beginning, never ending.
Nobody just said, 'Here, be a star!' I've joked many times that I was a seven-year overnight success.
I am thankful that 'Jhalak' made me a professional dancer now from just a 'barat' dancer.
I began as a model, but that did not really hold my interest for too long! I believe I stood out from the parade of models trying to make it in Hollywood, which helped launch my career beyond the one-night-stand horror movie.
I was on a game show and now I'm the game show girl who got a movie. That's how I consider myself.
My mom and I never thought that I would make my way into Bollywood. I was happy doing films down south.
