The couple gets candid with TOI on films, India and their relationship
Have your careers given you enough creative space?
Kristen: I'm very happy with what I'm being offered in terms of character, story and scope for performance.
Robert: I am very lucky to pursue different career paths. I also consider myself a singer, songwriter and producer even though my mainstay is acting.
A lot of hollywood filmmakers and actors have visited india. Any plans to visit the country?
Kristen: I've heard a lot of amazing things about India and can't wait to visit!
Robert: I have heard a lot about its vibrant culture. I got to know a lot about India while working with Mira Nair.
What places would you like to visit?
Kristen: I'm going to have to take a lot of tips from friends and people who have visited to know which destinations are a must see.
Robert: I would like to visit all the famous landmarks like Taj Mahal, the palace cities in Rajasthan, the backwaters of Kerala, etc.
Have you heard of bollywood?
Kristen: I have heard a lot about Bollywood and if I'm ever given the right script and opportunity, I'd love to do a Bollywood film.
Robert: I got to know about India while working with Mira Nair but I have very limited knowledge of Bollywood. I have heard quite a few good things about the Indian film industry and its actors. The music there is really vibrant.
Filmmakers you would like to work with in the future?
Kristen: I am greedy and want to work with all kinds of directors. Big or small, doesn't matter, if the role interests me, I am game.
Robert: I would definitely want to work with the director who will be making a James Bond film ten years from now. To play James Bond would be the ultimate challenge.
In the past couple of months, a lot has been reported on your relationship status. How have you both coped with it?
Kristen: We are fine. (smiles)
Robert: I prefer not to talk about media speculation on my personal life.
Actors you both look up to in the industry?
Kristen:One of my favourite actresses is Jodie Foster. I think this has a lot to do with me starring in my first movie with her.
Robert: I aspire to be Jack Nicholson. I love his every single mannerism.
