On her character in The Rising (2005): "See, my role started as a cameo. I was supposed to play the widow Jwala`s character - yes, the one Aishwarya Rai was supposed to have done. Now Amisha Patel is doing that. When I read the script, I fell in love with the small role of the prostitute. There were two or three very good scenes. The script underwent a change, and I got more space than before. But it`s still a cameo - nothing like what Smita Patil did with Ketan Mehta in Mirch Masala, though I wish had."
