You were ripped apart for your performance in 'Khel'!
I was extremely disappointed with the outcome of 'Khel' and with what the media had to say but I can take these things in my stride. I am looking forward to my forthcoming releases. The critics had ripped Aishwarya Rai apart in 'Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya' as well but today they have different things to say about her performance. One grows and improves one's acting abilities with time.
How seriously will people take you as an actress?
The sex symbol tag will always remain with me because I am a Feroz Khan girl! (Smile) Feroz Khan ('Janasheen') has always presented his women in the most glamorous and tasteful manner. I am happy to have the glamour tag associated with my name but you have to give a new artiste time to prove his/her worth! I'm only two films old for heaven's sake!
