Hollywood has turned into an emotional Detroit.
Since in the end, as an actor, I cannot do much apart from giving my best on camera, I won't let myself be affected by the business of cinema.
We make films because cinemas exhibit it, and they exhibit as we make films.
The last person who was brave enough to cast me was Rahul Bose in 'Everybody Says I'm Fine.' He gave me no choice. He is my dearest friend. I confided in him about how disillusioned I was by the business of cinema and stardom. He offered me a role.
'Khoobsurat' was an eye-opener in many ways. Cinema is a colossal money-churning business in India, and working in that environment offered me quite an incredible learning experience.
From now on, I approach the cinema as a business woman.
The shelf life of a specific film has decreased while the number of films required to fill multiplex cinemas has increased.
There are no rebels in the cinema business.
