Q: Her reaction on getting the award:
A: I felt like Miss World all over again. I know my daddy is looking down at me and smiling.
Q: Why did you choose such a shimmery outfit?
A: I landed in LA in the morning after a 14-hour flight. My team had 200 dresses laid out for me. I decided to go as a disco ball.
Q: How did you deal with nervousness the night before the award ceremony?
A: Being a Hindi film actor for 13 years has trained me well, giving me the confidence to accept victory and loss with a smile. Award mila toh theek hai, nahi mila toh koi baat nahi… That's the attitude I went with.

Q: How did you feel on bonding with Hollywood biggies during the show?
A: I was very comfortable around John as I had met him last year, when I was prepping for ‘Quantico. Then there was Ellen Pompeo who I am fond of and have grown close to feel fortunate to be standing alongside amazing people today.
Q: How do you feel about the US's reaction on ‘Bajirao Mastani'?
A: I finally watched it two days ago. I am so glad Sanjay sir narrated the story the way he did. He portrayed Kashi (her character in the film) as a self-respecting woman whom history had chosen to forget. People in the US who have never seen a Hindi film have watched ‘Bajirao Mastani. Some have also seen ‘Barfi!' It's like introducing Hindi cinema to the West. It feels like a wonderful, cultural exchange program and I'm proud to be a big part of it.
