<span class=normal>You just know when you are home! <BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Abhishek and I have been close throughout our careers. Within a year of our being together, he proposed to me and it was an immediate yes. In Toronto, we had the premiere of Guru and there was a screening and a press interaction in New York and we were supposed to take the flight back, when he proposed. And he said he had a reason for that, he said he used to be in New York at that very spot thinking about the possibility of us being together. It was not about the frills but about the personal emotion deep within. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p> My marriage was a glorious, fabulous, wonderful, superlative personal experience. <BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>And having said that, the circumstances were unimaginable. I never thought I would get married in the middle of a film. You imagine you would complete your work, indulge yourself. In movies, they show this entire preparation time and the irony was that I was doing that in Jodhaa Akbar. Ashu (director Ashutosh Gowariker) would keep saying that your craft, your kala, is preparing you for this wonderful real life moment. So, I was the bride in my work and its wonderful how my life has made me smile so many times and made me wonder at incidents where something is going on in your life and there is an interesting parallel on your work front. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p> Abhishek and I have the ability to keep things real. <BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Which is great and keeps our relationship what it is - an incredible friendship...we are brutally frank with each other, we are brutally frank about our life, we both have an incredible sense of humour and we have the ability to laugh with each other, at ourselves and with life and I think that is special. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p> It starts with, I as an actor should want to do what I am doing, otherwise I will be cheating my work. <BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>If I am not comfortable doing what I am doing, the camera picks up every little thing, you cannot lie to the camera. I have been fairly radical throughout my career in terms of trying to break out of the predictable journey of a leading lady. Early on,<br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>I took up mature roles and started working in regional cinema. It was recognized that I had a dancing prowess and I could have been the next dancing superstar but I chose subjects where the directors wanted to create a slightly different character.<BR><BR></span><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><a href=https://www.verveonline.com/ target=_blank><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><amp-img width=1.33 height=1 layout=responsive src=https://images.bollywoodhungama.com/img/websitelogo/verve1.jpg></amp-img></a>
