Indian films are always very passionate and romantic, and so long as the scene is done well aesthetically, I have no qualms doing it.

My goal is that after I am dead and gone, I want people to remember me for the person I am.

I’m a believer of destiny and I believe I’m destiny’s child. I’ve seen the highs and I’ve seen the lows and I believe things happen for a reason and always for the best.

I’d love to direct a film, but I don’t think I have the temperament for it. I’m very hyper, and I want things to be done ASAP. If I turn director, I might end up killing my actors.

First of all, from a spiritual perspective, I don’t think anyone needs to be apologetic about being successful or having money. The more successful you are, the more job opportunities you create for other people.

I love Chinese food, like steamed dim sum, and I can have noodles morning, noon and night, hot or cold. I like food that’s very simple on the digestive system – I tend to keep it light. I love Japanese food too – sushi, sashimi and miso soup.

I visualise what I want through meditation. The process of meditating is a great way of making sure I have my priorities sorted. It’s not about money – I focus on my career and the kind of film projects I want to do. Film-making is a passion for me, and my mantra is that you should do what you love, and the money will follow.

I try to be a good daughter, as I believe in karma and feel that how you are with your parents is directly proportionate to what you receive in your life. I am a big oneness follower, and our gurus have told us that if you want to achieve external happiness, you need to be happy internally. And your inner circle is your family.

I’m a proud Indian but I feel very, very happy that people have accepted me here as well in the west. It’s the people here in Britain that have given me my newfound fame here, so I owe it to them. We must give credit where it’s deserved. It’s not just the Asian community, it was also the British people who voted for me on Celebrity Big Brother and wanted to see me. So, I’m very happy and I think I’m a good eclectic mix of both cultures.

I had no inkling I was going to run into this kind of luck I experienced. It’s all happened and it’s all turned my life around overnight; opportunities have knocked on my door and I’m just making use of them. I don’t want to do anything and everything. I want to be a brand that every time I leverage my name I want people to feel sure that it’s going to be something good – so whether it be my movies, my perfume, my restaurant, my musical, it’ll be good work, good food and good everything.

I’m a believer of destiny and I believe I’m destiny’s child. I’ve seen the highs and I’ve seen the lows and I believe things happen for a reason and always for the best. Maybe this was all meant to be and maybe Big Brother worked as a catalyst in a bigger issue like racism, which was important to be broached. Maybe it had to happen this way and I’m glad that I could help it.

I’m not an early bird at all. Ideally, on Saturday morning I’d allow myself a lovely lie-in. 10:45 would be just right.
