In Dubai to launch a new fragrance, Ange ou Etrange le Secret Elixir, by French fashion house Givenchy, for which she is the ambassador, the 41-year-old actress said India is a part of herself. "I have friends there and I feel very connected to it... the smell, the sights, the people. It's familiar," she told Gulf News. "I didn't realise how close we were to India (from the UAE). Had I known earlier, I would have gone by. I go there often, my last visit was about two years ago," she added.

On being part of a Bollywood movie, the Kill Bill star said: "That will be the best. I am good friends with Mira Nair," Thurman said, referring to Nair with whom she worked with in 2002's Hysterical Blindness. "In fact, I heard she's filming a movie in India that's coming up soon and I'm very upset I'm not in it. I'm going to have a word with her about that," she joked.

Nair is currently working on the big screen adaptation of Reluctant Fundamentalist.
