Ash: I want more action films
Why did you choose to do Mistress Of Spices at this stage?
I wanted to support Paul in his directorial debut. When he shared his vision with me years ago, I agreed.
How did you relate to Tilo's character? Was there any emotional connection you made with her?
I have related to each character I have performed thus far, including Tilo. I am very sensitive to moods and one's inward feelings and emotions. I am a true people person and people watcher. I look forward to meeting interesting people and understanding their experiences in life.
What was it like working with Paul? How does his style of working differ from that of Gurinder's?
Paul was wonderful to work with. He is a very gentle director - very much at peace within. He kept his set moving, yet with a very peaceful tone. Gurinder makes work fun. You find yourself laughing each day.
