I suddenly thought the industry will stop if I don’t work. I got some amazing chances to work in films, but my ego came in the way. I didn’t do some films, which I could have done, which may have been harder work and more competitive. I just didn’t do them because I wanted the easy stuff and I wanted to work with people I was comfortable with. I didn’t break barriers.” She further added, “I made stars out of everybody else”.
Upon being asked if she considers herself responsible for Karisma’s stardom she teasingly said, “Absolutely. I am responsible for her stardom.”
