In a throwback interview, while talking about working in the Hindi film industry, the actor said that currently a different and a new wave is seen in Bollywood. Earlier, there was a phase where the actor decided the fate of the film, but now it is the story, the scripting and the direction that decide the fate of the film. The reason she states is because there are newer stories, newer ideas and writers are now experimenting with their writings and scripting too. She further added that within the same calendar year, she got the opportunity to play the characters of a glamourous heroine to a village woman. Hence, she believes that people are living in really good times in terms of cinema.
