I don''t know whether my performance is good or bad, but I''vetotally enjoyed playing Tehzeeb. She''san angry young woman – she doesn''t bash up goons on the road, but shebattles her own demons. The role is subtle." She plays a marriedwoman who shares a difficult relationship with her mother, essayed by theredoubtable Shabana. And teaming up with Shabana again was "Brilliant.

At the end of theday, if people remember me as a good human being that means even more than beingcalled a great actress."
