It's scary, because if I had been in the industry for two-three years, and then go to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, I would understand the value of working with him. Getting to work with him in my first film itself, it's like a diamond-encrusted spoon which is being fed to me. I just hope I can live up to the expectations of working with him.

I don't know where I go from here. There's no timetable, no decision on steps I want to take ahead, or the kind of films I want to do. I want to work with everyone and hopefully my journey will be enriching.

What do you think of the way Bollywood has grown over the last couple of years?

It's fabulous. The exposure to Indian cinema internationally has grown drastically, and people look at it as a form of art. Earlier, it was just entertainment but now people are actually looking at Indian cinema. People say that films of the 1950s and 1960s, the stories they had aren't being told anymore. I disagree. I feel people are making beautiful films, they have a lot to say.

What kind of films do you like to watch?

All kinds of films. I watch all the Hindi films, a lot of English films, foreign films. If you ask me favourites, I'll say Shree 420, Life Is Beautfiul and Devdas -- Mr Bhansali's Devdas, that is.
