Do you think we as people need to adapt more liberalized views comparatively? <BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>If India needs to be more liberalized, then for sure yes! There is always more scope in liberalizing or having liberalized views. It is just that people in India are a little bit more emotional, I feel. For example, during the time of Bajirao Mastani, we as members of the Censor Board received a court case before we actually went for the screening and we were advised to not view the film and not give it certification because the ancestors wanted to put a court case on the film and stop it because they were saying that they (the filmmakers) have not portrayed Mastani the way she should have been and also not portrayed the wife (Kashibai) correctly. That is actually not our job. Our job is to view the film with its creativity. Allowing its creativity thats something the producer and the director have full liberty to do. And I obviously view it as a film not as a social cause of whether they followed certain protocols or not. Thats not really our job. The film has to be taken open mindedly into account and not as something that will hurt someones sentiments. Not every film is veered at portraying something like that. And the characters - every director has every right to portray them the way they want, nothing wrong with that. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>What are the kind of changes do you recommend in case of censorship, if any? <BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>The guidelines need to be upgraded. What I would advise also is to show the film to public, as in a panel of audience from varied fields who could watch the film. We could then ask them about their views on the film, what do they think about it, what was good, what would you change about it. That would help the success of the film. We have a lot of good films. Unfortunately the industry is going through a downfall at the moment. We are finding a lot of tough competition coming from the West, the Hollywood movies. While good Hindi films are releasing, also at the same time, one or two big blockbuster Hollywood films are coming in to compete. So the result is that Bollywood movies often suffer. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>You have been an actress yourself… any plans of returning to the silver screen? <BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Oh yes! Definitely. You are going to be seeing me very soon but I am not going to say anything much as yet. I am having a lot of these discussions with film producers and Ill be making an announcement very soon. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>What kind of films would you like to be a part of? Any latest movies that you would have loved to do? <BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>I would love to be a part of all types of different genres because I think experimenting is the main thing. It also gives you chance of reinventing yourself and you never know how these challenges will help until you step into the role and say wow this is something different and I didnt know if I could do it. As of now, I would probably like to start off with something more commercial, get myself back in and understand how things have changed. As my confidence goes ahead and I am comfortable in my own skin, I had like to do more women-oriented roles. And of course period films with a lot of drama and lot of romance would be ideal. To answer your other question, well I think Bajirao Mastani was fantastic! Kashibai. There was a lot of oomph in Priyankas role and she portrayed it very beautifully, very restrained and at the same time, it got a message across.
