I was not sure that acting was something I would want to do, but to him, he had found his Adaa in Yahaan. It took about six months to convince me. Yahaan didn’t get the kind of reception theatrically that we had all hoped. The 26th July floods happened in Mumbai and it occurred a couple of days before my movie released. The theatres were flooded out. It did not get the kind of response, of people coming to the theatre as the city had suffered a huge tragedy. I did not know anybody. I went to the biggest secretaries at that time to manage me. They did not want to put the energies into me,” she recalled.
