It is my first title role, glamorous. This has shown her imagination. This is a challenging role. A young girl who lives on the roads of Mumbai, grew up in Dharavi, cleans the streets of Bombay. She is fed-up of her life. She wants to be successful. Wants only clean water to bathe with, and good salwar-kazmees or sarees to hide her body. In 2005, when glamour and gloss is shown in our feel-good pictures. Such reality-based films are not made. This is a wake-up call for everybody. We don't just live in Lokhandwala penthouses. Where do our house workers go? Who cleans our roads? There is no water to drink in India, leave alone bathe in it. When she sees this huge bathroom, she says: "I have to take a shower!"
