My second meeting with India happened in the UK. After graduating from acting school my first job was a main role in an Indian film. “Princess from Katmandu”. A film team from Mumbai came to England, and we stayed together for a whole Summer, making that film. I enjoyed it very much, and after quite a lot of suffering at the theatre school, I now enjoyed life much more.

I was the only westerner, staying together with a bunch of Indians, eating Indian food and getting to know their way of life and work. Some of the actors in the film were Prem Chopra, Gulshan Grover and Goga Kapur. Goga Kapur was very health couscious, and I still remember how he talked about the three “C”s, Capsicum, Cucumber and Celery, that were very important to include in one´s daily diet.
