QUOTES:
After film school, I embarked on trying to promote independent films. But after a while, I realized I was breaking my back doing six-day-a-week shoots, 14-hour days, and no guarantee of distribution.
‘Home Alone’ had become the absolute biggest film I had ever done, and it became the third-highest grossing film of all time. So clearly it had an effect on me that is unparalleled to any other film experience in my childhood.
I took myself out of the business to study film at NYU and the School of Visual Arts. I grew up on movie sets and was fascinated with the camera and behind-the-scenes work. I felt it would help my career as an actor if I knew all aspects of film.

QUOTES:
And I also definitely love glamor. I mean, I love getting dressed up, and having someone do my make-up and feeling pretty. I’m not gonna lie about that, cause that’s part of what I love about what I do. But celebrity, it’s like the feeling of going to the prom, the adolescent feeling of popularity. As an actor, my main focus is finding good writing and attacking a good role. I mean, I understand when you’re incredibly famous that it becomes difficult to deal with the publicity aspect. But people who are like me, who go, “Oh, I’m not gonna do that. I’m just here for the work!” I find it to be a little pretentious, honestly. Cause you’re not that famous. Calm down.
[2007] I’m not into vilifying L.A., like “Everyone is so dumb, everyone has fake boobs . . . ” It’s just not true. There are a lot of really smart, fascinating people there. I’m a New Yorker who loves L.A.
The film showcases the different types of love and what actually love means..
Directed by Raushni Srivastava
Review by Victoria Angelique:
Films about love are typically full of fluff & exaggerated tropes of romance, TYPES OF LOVE breaks this trope by giving the realistic portrayal of what comes with the different varieties of love that a person can go through in their life. Some of it is easy, while others are quite difficult and take work.
The rough, handheld cinematography gives this film an intimate feeling that goes along with the tone of exploring the complex definition of love. It gives the feeling that the audience is almost intruding on the lives of the characters, but cannot look away as the question posed needs an answer. Each character is carefully written with the hope that this person will give Arjun the answer to his question.
Love is depicted as complex. For one character, it’s hopeful as she looks forward to life with a new mate. It’s still new and fresh. For a woman that’s been married for over 30 years, she’s dedicated her life to raising her children & feels that her love has not been given back in return. Love has become a burden to her as loneliness feels the hole that used to care for her family. Raina goes from one relationship to another, quickly allowing her own insecurities to turn her desire of love into an unhealthy devotion of her romantic partners. First Raja, then Arjun. She chases them away when she becomes obsessed & confuses it with love. Raina needs to learn how to love herself before she ends up alone.
TYPES OF LOVE is a drama about the harsh realities of love, but it does end on an upbeat note in the last few moments with a beautiful monologue that defines love. The message gives the character’s a starting point to begin again, knowing that the road to love is not easy but it is worth it to be happy.
