I am not going to become a critical-acclaim-junkie at all. I will not start falling for the bait of wanting to please people ever. I will do it the way I always do, with my gut. I cater to a viewer because that viewer's taste matters more than anyone else's and I will keep him first in mind and then, if it also appeals to the critics, so be it.
On the other hand, it's a great feeling to be accepted by audiences that have never accepted you. With Love Sex Dhokha I was a bundle of nerves. I think it will take some time before everything sinks in. It was the first time I have got critical acclaim for any of my films.
Titles like the ‘Most Influential South Asian Women Executives in the Media and Entertainment Industry 2010' don’t shake me. Of course it makes me proud that my name was listed among such great women. It was truly an honour. South Asia is quite huge and to be selected among so many people feels great but I think I am a bit too individualistic. I try to lead. I do not follow. Even if I don't lead, I would follow my own path. I don't believe in being branded...I believe in clutter-breaking.
If that works for people, great. If it doesn't, great. I'd rather make my own mistakes and pay for them rather than pay for mistakes that are formulistic.
