And now recently, Bollywood’s Desi Girl was asked about if she had any plans of venturing into film direction anytime soon. Speaking to IANS, the Mary Kom actress said, “It’s something that makes me nervous because it’s a lot of responsibility. But slowly, I have moved from acting to production and hopefully, I’ll make that (directing films) transition too someday.”
“The Sky Is Pink”, helmed by Shonali Bose, is her second Bollywood movie with a woman director.

“I don’t think gender defines anything. Women and men are capable or as incapable as their merit make’s them. Working with Shonali was my honor. I think she is an incredible filmmaker and her gender doesn’t define that,” said the “Dil Dhadakne Do” actress.

“I don’t think that your estrogen changes the kind of films that you make. I think she is an incredible filmmaker and the kind of stories that she has told and will continue telling, I think will define Indian cinema,” she said about Bose, who has directed critically acclaimed movies ‘Margarita with a Straw’ and ‘Amu’.
