Many things. I learned to control my temperament. I was used to lavish treatment when I was working in TV serials. I would take an hour to get ready, and if I did not feel like working, I could rest. As soon I was on the sets, my man would come to me with an umbrella.

But here, whenever I wanted makeup, Rajkumar would not allow it. If I combed my hair or just ran my fingers through my hair, he would ruffle it again. If I was shooting in the scorching heat and my man came with an umbrella, Rajkumar would request me to send him back. After shooting for 48 hours at a stretch, he would want to shoot some more. If I said I hadn't slept, he would say 'paheli film hai teri, thoda mahinat karle.' (it is your first film, so work hard). So I had a tough life.

Are you doing any TV serials now?

No, I am not doing any serials now.

The small screen has a wider audience, so I like it. But I am fed up of the monotonous shows. So, no more serials for me.

What next?

I have no projects in hand. I have been offered many, but I have not signed any. After the promos of Aamir are out, people can decide if they want to invest crores of money on me.
