I wasn't before. But after I began training in Kathak from Pandit Viru Krishna Maharaj and then entered films, my life changed forever.

I am grateful to Guruji for having taught me how to use Kathak in a film situation.

Today, I wake up early, do my yoga, followed by my Kathak riyaaz, regular work out and I am sorted for the day.

My turning point came with the film Musafir. Though I have had my share of flops, there have been milestones too.

Kaal Purush is my career best till date.

The film and the director helped me develop a new dimension – imbibing the Bengali culture in terms of its language, its food, the way a woman like Supriya dresses, making me fall in love with our traditional mode of dress – the sari.
 
On her future:

Things are looking good. I have a busy schedule in days to come.

I am playing the female lead, a Naxalite, in Aruna Raje's Red Alert. It is based on the contemporary nationalist movement.

It explores and shows how circumstances decide the destiny of a person who evolves into a Naxalite in course of time.

Along with me are Sunil Shetty, Ayesha Dharkar and Naseeruddin Shah.

Then there is Mahayoddha Ram, an animation film where I have done the voice-over for Sita, and two more comedies about which I am not supposed to say much at this point.
