I'm at my best when... I accept who I am and have tried to do my best, whatever the consequences.
Those closest to me would describe me as... Miss Controversy! I'm very blunt and tend to speak my mind, not only to those closest to me, but sometimes to those I don't know very well.
One thing about my past I don't admit easily is... I've made mistakes and didn't take responsibility at the time. Perspective is amazing.
Three things I'd want if I was stranded on a desert island are... lots
of different kinds of music to listen to, a piano to keep myself entertained
and a pressure cooker as I'd be no good with a fire.
One thing I'd like to do before I die is... fall in love with
someone who will fall in love with me too, and treat me with respect.
If I advertised myself on a dating site, it would read... "I'm looking to meet someone who is good with words, clever, funny and likes laughing, food and living life - and is NOT married!"
The thing I like least about myself is... I'm sometimes judgmental about my body and think that I don't like it. I try hard not to be like that.
My fantasy dinner date would be... my 14-year-old son Akshay, Barack Obama and his lovely wife Michelle at a Thanksgiving dinner in the White House.
The thing I value most is... my family and the love of my son.
If I wasn't an actress I'd be... a writer. I'd like to express myself and commit my thoughts to paper. I love reading and admire those who can write.
My biggest regret is... not finishing off things I start and not
trusting my instincts. I let situations I'm uncomfortable with continue when
I know I should change how I deal with them.
Answer the following...
I'm very cautious and tend to take my time when making important decisions... Never
I easily become excited about new opportunities... Often
I like my day to be well planned... Never
I get self-conscious or anxious in social situations... Often
When I get angry, I tend to lose my temper... Often

SHOBNA SAYS: "I've
drawn this picture since I was little. It reminds me of holidays when I felt
carefree and makes me think about the simplicity of youth."
'IMPULSIVE SHOBNA UNDERMINES HERSELF'
JAMES'
VERDICT: "Shobna lives a relatively fast-paced life and tends to take on
things without much planning. She bases her decisions on strong personal
values and will protect these fiercely, to the point where she might appear
overly judgmental.
Although others regard Shobna as socially confident, she suffers from self-doubt about how she looks and comes across in unfamiliar situations. She likes variety in her work, but is not an organised person. Her impulsive manner may lead to distraction and failure to follow through on important tasks, which causes her frustration.
Shobna's picture reveals her more introverted, private self. The trees symbolise vitality and a strong will to live, while the flowers and sun suggest warmth and optimism. The river indicates Shobna likes to go with the flow and accept her destiny, rather than try to control her life."
