Sussanne, an interior designer, said: “Since I was 5, I was bitten by the bug of designing. It was all around me in my home. I used to have architectural digest magazines. My mum used to be an interior designer in those days. I was 5 years old when I used to go with her on sites and I fell in love with the world of colour and design. I was obsessed with that world. I wanted to be a part of that world.
“Acting is equally a tough job but it didn’t attract me. I can’t do something if it doesn’t attract me 100 per cent. I am all in or nothing. There was no question of not going in designing. That’s when I explored, studied, went to Los Angeles and came back when I met a superstar boy who was not a superstar at that time, but was one in my eyes when I met him.
“But before this I didn’t realize I didn’t have any interest in the film world. But destiny gets me back that way. I love the films and the industry, but I am so happy being where I am in my profession.”
