Aishwarya, my parent's daughter, has been brought up with enough values inculcated where I will use my discretion in my choices. At the same time, I recognize I am an actor, I am an artist, and if I feel the need to be liberated and do the kind of work I need to do, I will.

I'm a student. I want to do better, and I want directors who can find the actress in me and be my teachers. I'm interested in the whole process of editing, post-production and direction.

My family is my strength and my weakness.

I have a great story to tell... and I tell it well. No holds barred.

It's unbelievable that people have the time and inclination to be as negative as they are on a public platform about people who accomplish whatever they do in the public eye.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan -
I just take on what I can commit to completely at that point in time, and that way you'll be able to give your best.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan -
By virtue of my job, I'm traveling. You get to spend very little time with your family. We hardly get to meet each other except on the one odd day we really get to spend time, have dinner together. And that's rare, and we cherish it.

In terms of finding that first international recognition of my work, coming back to Cannes is such a milestone in my life because it began actually with 'Devdas'.

I was studying to be an architect, I wasn't plotting to join the movies. Films were just another career option. I took acting up with the same schoolgirl enthusiasm I had for examinations. Acting is a job and I take it very seriously.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan -
The larger the audience the better. The more pockets in the world, the more interesting and exciting because it just makes it that much more liberating. This makes it that much more liberating for the various facets of creativity to be explored.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan -
I have always been a person who is extremely comfortable in my skin. I have always just been myself in all these years on the public platform.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan -
I really don't work to a plan, but I just do what interests me and what I like to do.

Even prior to marriage and motherhood, it's always been about prioritising and focusing on what you can commit to. That's been my approach to every aspect of my life, be it my relationships or my professional commitments.

Even in India the Hindi film industry might be the best known but there are movies made in other regional languages in India, be it Tamil or Bengali. Those experiences too are different from the ones in Bombay.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan -
Strangely, nothing makes me feel tired, fatigued, at all. I've gone days and nights without sleep, and still the mind is in such a positive space it just doesn't make you feel fatigued.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan -
I'm not the type who'll yell about my achievements from the rooftops.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan -
Sexy in India is not considered positive. But, with today's crop of fresh faces in the modelling arena, being sexy is an asset.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan -
Despite being in showbiz, I have a very real approach to my life. It plays off with my social life.

Right now, I'm following the Buddhist principle: Smile as abuse is hurled your way and this too shall pass.

I always believed that my silence on several topics will be an advantage in the long run.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan -
For me, it's not about breaking big in Hollywood, but having interesting experiences.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan -
Weight gain can happen at any point in time, and it is something that you are dealing with anyway, and it is OK. It is ridiculous to have this dictate your very being because I have always said that it is not the outside that defines who you are.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan -
What's blessed about my life is that I have been able to connect with the global audience on a regular basis. I am thankful for everybody's love, and I reciprocate that, but I also have to deliver on every occasion.
