I've chosen to take the road less travelled. Let's not forget even for a moment that it's a male-dominated film industry. Fact is that every film is sold on the hero's name. Not too many heroines can claim that they call the shots. Another fact which I've learnt the hard way is that too much importance is given to the word success.
Talent is secondary.
To a certain extent, heroines are pigeonholed. A new actress is slotted immediately. Either she's said to be the next Hema Malini or Zeenat Aman. Initially, Madhuri Dixit was compared with Madhubala. If someone calls me another Zeenat Aman, that's okay by me.
