In English, my Bride & Prejudice did well world over. I don`t know how it did in Hindi, but I know Jurassic Park too didn`t do well in Hindi. I was glad audiences worldwide liked an English film that was Indian. When I did Mistress of Spices, I did it for Paul (Mayeda Berges, the director and husband of Gurinder Chadha) as a team. The film found its audiences. When the Provoked 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.
