How does it feel being nominated for the Filmfare Awards (Best Actress in a Supporting Role - Waqt )?
“It feels wonderful being nominated for the awards. I’ve taken a gap of four years and I’ve come back. I’ve won a Filmfare for Satya earlier. Now I’ve again been nominated for Waqt . It’s an amazing feeling of acceptance.”

Were you expecting the nomination?
“I was nominated for a few other awards and bagged one of them, so I wasn’t sure that I would be nominated but at the same time hadn’t completely ruled out the possibility.”

When you received your nomination letter, your reaction was...?
“I thought it was some subscription letter till I opened it. It was a beautiful start to the day.”

Your greatest competitor is...?
“They are all very good and that’s the reason they’ve been nominated. But I personally feel the either Ayesha Kapoor or Shweta Prasad will walk away with the trophy.”

Children as contenders. Demotivated?
“It’s a little unfair to them and to us – not because they are any lesser than us – they are probably as brilliant or even more, but because when you nominate a child in a category with seniors it’s but obvious accepted and expected the child will win.”

If you do win...
“...I’ll party with friends and family.”
