"At the end of the day its love, whether it comes from a person of your age or much older. Its mind over matter. You can't really stop falling in love with someone because of some invisible barriers. Personally I would just go with the flow", she said while interacting with mediapersons here.
Jiah is starring in "Nishabd", the Indian take on 'Lolita' opposite superstar Amitabh Bachchan.
Jiah who was born in New York and brought up in UK says that though she doesn't mind being called a "sex kitten" as she is free-spirited and quite comfortable with the title.
I would prefer to understand the different nuances of the character offered to me she explained.
She is also pleased that she is being launched in a big banner film at such an early stage of her career and wishes to do challenging roles in the future.
Jiah considers Amitabh Bachchan to be the sexiest star in the industry and considering her fetish for Men's perfume, she once told him during a film shoot that he smells good.
"Nishabd will surprise a lot of people. The film is a highly emotional and intense drama and acting opposite him was such a wonderful experience. He guided me to scale emotions and was very patient with me, since I was facing the camera for the first time, she said.
