Q & A

TDS: How did you begin your career?
Sweety: ' I had contacted Afzal Hossain through a friend of mine, taken a screen test and shot an ad within seven days. It's basically as simple as that (smiling)!

TDS: What kind of person are you?
Sweety: I think I am an amiable person. I believe in people and I detest backbiting.

TDS: What scares you most ?
Sweety: Sometimes, I get numb with fear when I travel in a car. I get scared of trucks coming from the opposite side. The bottom-line is that I fear accidents.

TDS: Who is your idol?
Sweety: Mother Teresa is my idol. There was a time when I had wished to follow her path. I really miss those times and wish that I could feel that way once again.

TDS: Any regrets?
Sweety: I wish I could be more worldly wise! (laughs)

TDS: How would you judge a talent?
Sweety: Quality definitely counts. To me, appearance matters very little while back-ups don't count at all.

TDS: One fine morning, you realise that you have no public demand, what would you do?
Sweety: I guess I would have to accept that. Probably I'll just move on to directing.

TDS: Any dreams?
Sweety: I want to be a recognised as a remarkable artiste.

TDS: Have you ever come face to face with a desperate fan?
Sweety: Not exactly face to face. But once, I was presented a bouquet by a fan of mine who proposed to me later on. He claimed to be in love with me. No matter how much I tried to explain the matter to him and make him understand he kept on referring to why I had accepted the bouquet of flowers!

TDS: What would you have become if not a model or an actress?
Sweety: I would have become a dress-designer.
