Q: Did you sideline your film commitments for your first business venture?
A: No. I planned really well so it went as per plan. I did not skip any of my film commitments.
Q: There were a lot of rumors and gossip during the IPL. Were you disturbed by them?
A: Gossip and rumours during the IPL hardly disturbed me. I do not entertain petty people. I made an investment in the IPL, I put my heart and soul in to it and if I am going to be accused simply because I am female, then it would not be right.
We, as a team, are one big family and I am the way I am, irrespective of the camera. If somebody wants to make stupid gossip about me, it goes to show their mental level. After 10 years in the film industry, I have been respected in my profession and I expect to be respected in all my endeavors.
Q: What are the areas that you need to address in the next edition of IPL?
A: We need to improve a lot of things. We need to minimize errors, as we are keen to address a few more areas in the next edition. We also want to promote cricket at the grass-root level in the north. We are working on a few other options, to explore other challenges as well in the coming days. Let's see how it turns out to be.
Q: According to reports, Shahrukh's team has managed to break-even in the first year itself primarily due to the marketing gimmicks. Do you think you could have done more from the marketing perspective?
A: I am not complaining about the marketing perspectives. Things have been as per our expectations and since it was the first year, we did not have too many financial prospects but we hope to do better in the next edition.
Q: Are you cricket savvy now?
A: Well, not really. But gradually I have come to know a few nitty-gritties. Ahead of the IPL, all I knew was about fours and sixes.
