Star kids are considered blue-blood babas and babies even though they are older than me actress on facing discrimination as an outsider in Bollywood

I m a daughter a sister a wife and a mother and in this list of priorities the feeling of me being a superstar is at the bottom Bollywood actor on her star status

Frankly I ve never really subscribed to these adjectives tagging me as an icon superstar etc I ve always thought of myself as an actor doing his job to the best of his ability

I can only say that my chest has become blouse After two Rs 100 crore films behind me there was pressure but we used it to inspire us to work harder and deliver to the best of our ability

Secular now means approval from all religions and all communities At a point in the future every scene will have a disclaimer Anurag Kashyap filmmaker on political correctness in Bollywood

I always believe that my films should give some hope to the man who comes to watch them for those three hours If he goes home on an optimistic note I would feel satisfied at having done my duty

I didn t say we should not host their Talent I said we host their talent actors singers cricketers while they host our criminals On decapitating Indian soldiers by Pakistanis inside India s borde

We re making all kinds of films - English Hinglish sex horror this and that It s a healthy trend But for a film to run it has to have Indian values For a film to be a blockbuster it has to be rooted to our culture

My technicians are my most important tools Once I establish a rapport with them then they would understand me in my next film I wouldn t have to train anyone new I give a lot of respect to all my technicians because I m a technician too I wouldn t be able to convey a feeling if the writer didn t write it well and the cameraman didn t shoot it well

Films have been my only passion in life I have always been proud of making films and will continue taking pride in all my films I have never made a movie I have not believed in However though I love all my films one tends to get attached to films that do well But I do not have any regrets about making films that did not really do well at the box office

Though technically I m shooting on location my films are actually based inside a woman s heart I think women are more emotional than men and that s a thread I ve explored in all my films When I see TV these days I m shocked at how all the main women characters are portrayed as evil Women are the foundation of everything and they deserve to be treated that way on camera
