It never was my plan to get into television.
I get a wild hair up my nose and I want to go.
When I did 'Ephorize,' I didn't know that later on I'd be releasing another album. It just came.
I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived, architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it, so I signed up for acting instead.
I really can't pinpoint the one moment when I said I want to be a comic.
Not at all, I wanted to go into medicine. I took science in college. But my dad was a Producer - Director in Kannada films, and someone saw me, and one thing led to another.
I never thought I would end up being an actress. I thought I really was going to do serious stuff like law or politics.
Some plays just come out of me, just on instincts. I'll make a play and wonder, How did I do that?
There was never a moment when I was like, 'I'm going to enter the public conversation on the importance of female nudity.'
I was focused on either being a social worker or physiotherapist. That was the direction I was going until I met a girl who wanted to be an actress, and I wanted to be close to the girl, so I followed her into an audition.
I didn't intend to go into the seminar business.
Dumb luck brought on the move from business to acting. I had moved to New York when I was 23, in the year 2000. On a lark, I went to audition for a soap opera.
I never really planned on doing a television series.
