This former actor quickly turned her back on the film industry, took her failures in her stride and set off on a new path that included books, design, and a healthy dose of humour. She turns 47 today.

00:00Failure has been my role model.
01:00I grew up with a mother who made it very clear to me right at the beginning that we never
01:05had these conversations.
01:06We never spoke about feminism or equality or anything, but it was very clear that there
01:10was absolutely no need for a man, you know.
02:00So when I failed as an actress, and I failed miserably as an actress, I didn't fall into
02:18some deep pit of depression because I just said, well, now I have an opportunity to succeed
02:22at a myriad of other things.
02:52Logic is that the genes are called unbottled, so this is the logic.
03:52It's about how a modern woman looks at India and how India looks right back at her.
04:17I try to find things that are, you know, sort of a common thread, literally, between
04:23all kinds of people and look at India in my own sort of wonky way.
04:47Why is there any shame or embarrassment about our simple biology?
05:06In fact, it's the most important biological function because if we did not have our period,
05:11then none of these people sitting here would be born.
05:42It troubles me.
05:43It troubles me that Asian paints has just announced the color of the decade and it's
05:50blazing saffron.
05:59There's one thing that I've always tried to make clear that the only person whose words
06:03and actions I'm responsible for are mine.
06:33Every time you look at somebody who is successful, you have to realize that they have fallen
06:56again and again and again, tried myriad other things before they've reached that point.
07:01To not be afraid to keep leaping is what I've always believed in.
