But before that, I acquired all the information about the campaign. Within what time after death one has to donate eyes, and all other information. Only then I decided to donate my eyes.

It's not that just for doing something, I donated my eyes. I found that useful so I did it. I like to do social service from my heart. Whatever is possible I do, but I don't speak of that.

But I would like to give more time to it in the near future. Someone asked me why I'm politically correct, even when people hit out so openly at me. But the truth is, I've never been brought up to behave any other way. I can't say anything hurtful about anyone. I just don't believe in saying mean things. I won't feel good doing that. It's strange why being well behaved is perceived as being too 'propah' and staid.

This is the way I am. I'm amazed how many people feel good hitting out at me.

They're welcome to do it. Earlier, they had more leeway to deny their indiscretions in print.

But now on television they look pretty ridiculous denying what they say. [About the sari she wore on (1986)] I thought I'd wear one on the show, and packed two of them, in case Oprah wanted to wear one, too. As luck would have it, my flight was delayed and I reached minutes before the show went on air! So I had no time to change, which is a pity. Americans love the garment but have no clue how it's tied.

Oprah is very respectful and appreciative of all cultures. She was very curious about the sari and I helped her put it on, on air! She has sent me an autographed picture saying, 'Next time we change the blouse'. She was very sweet. [Her advice to aspiring professionals] My biggest concern is always the students who are working toward a certain career--when they limit themselves to just that one option. They need to know that the world is huge--it's an ocean, and there are so many options.

It's not the end of the world if they don't get to pursue an apparent childhood dream. That's really important, because you find a lot of kids who believe that they want to become a doctor or an aeronautical engineer or something, and if they don't manage to make their degree, that's the end. They feel so defeated, which is very disheartening. It's sad to know that people let themselves be limited by these aspirations. [on why she participated in the Miss World Pageant in 1994] For me, it went beyond being a beauty queen. For me, it was about being the 20-year-old girl from India on [an] international platform and a lot of people actually would assume that I wasn't even educated in India because of the way I'd speak.

And they'd be like, 'Have you studied in India? Do you actually speak English out there?' And, I was like, 'This is so interesting that so many people know so little about my country', and this is exactly what I wanted to do when I set out on this little mission in my head. [About director ]... A committed taskmaster.

I have danced to songs before. But he always added to choreographer 's steps, and that was quite challenging. He would shoot an entire mukhda in one shot. To do all the songs at that level required remaining focused at all times. In that moment, I felt I became Umrao Jaan.

The sex trade was called the performing arts then and not prostitution. [In 2006] It is a very tricky situation when you get the chance to work in English films. I do films based on characters, not to get an entry into Hollywood or whatever.

In English, my _Bride & Prejudice (2005)_ (qv ) did well world over. I don't know how it did in Hindi, but I know _Jurassic Park (1998)_ didn't do well in Hindi. How To Install Dt20 Twin Channel Digital Programmer on this page.

I was glad audiences worldwide liked an English film that was Indian. When I did (2005), I did it for Paul [, the director and husband of ] as a team.

The film found its audiences. When the [ (2006)] script came to me, I felt it was a very important story of an Indian woman based in London who killed her husband because of marital abuse. Made a big impression in England, and so I did this film because I felt it was an important story to be told. 'Provoked' is an important film for many other Kirans in the world.

As far as (2007) is concerned, it is a film based on a book [a novel by ]. I don't think the character of Meera [her role] is there in the book. I did the film for the new experience and it is for the first time that I was with a complete foreign crew. Working with was a great experience. Meera is an Indian in the film and she has great roots and you will identify with her strength. I feel for Indian audiences, and want them to feel pride in what I am doing: I am not doing films just to be there as guest appearances.
