u00a0&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve never had any desire to be aggressive, nor have I felt the need to prove anything to anyone except myself,&rdquo; she says. That&rsquo;s Nandana for you. The actress, who will be seen in a &lsquo;different&rsquo; role in her next film, talks about her love for nature and reveals a little more about herself to CS: <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/may/Nandana-Sen.jpg" /> Who: Nandana Sen,u00a0What: On her love for nature,u00a0Where: Juhu.u00a0Pic/ Santosh Nagvekar Dare to bare Film is by nature a bold and transformative medium &ndash; bold because it holds up a mirror for us to see ourselves in, and transformative because it has the power to change the way we see the world. So why not use it boldly? I have never been the one to hem and haw. If you want to show something &ndash; whether it&rsquo;s a moment of romantic intimacy, or political hypocrisy &ndash; then just show it. Don&rsquo;t apologise. &lsquo;Vet&rsquo; dreams I grew up hiking in the White Mountains in the US and biking along the red earth of Shantiniketan. I love waking up to the cacophony of birds, breathing in huge gulps of air that smells of chlorophyll, walking barefoot on sticky dewy grass, getting drenched in fresh, fragrant rain. I must say I miss all this in Mumbai. I&rsquo;ve been to several national parks in the US, and also to safaris in South Africa, but thanks to my latest film, I lived for two months in one of the most gorgeous places I&rsquo;ve ever been to &mdash; Jim Corbett National Park. Every day we spent three magical hours going in (and out) of the forest. I felt so superbly blessed when my car got stopped on the road by a stray elephant who took her time to say goodbye, when my food got snatched by monkeys (I went hungry, but it was such a fun and Darwinian moment!), and saw a python slither past dangerously close. I&rsquo;ve always been in utter awe of the beauty and nobility of animals &mdash; not many people know that one of my unfulfilled ambitions was to be a vet. The &lsquo;write&rsquo; stuff Whenever I&rsquo;m not filming, I&rsquo;m always writing. Three of my international scripts have already been either optioned or made into films. I am working on two scripts now, which are pretty close to completion &mdash; one is a family story about trauma and memory (sounds heavy, but it&rsquo;s actually sweet and emotional), and the other, a really fun children&rsquo;s film about the misadventures of divorce. Absolutely different, these two, but I&rsquo;m very passionate about both!

She's unapologetic about skin-show in her films. And her laid-back attitude to life, is the reason we see so less of Nandana Sen on the big screen.
