Working on director Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” was a life-changing experience and felt like a beautiful dream, says veteran actor Dimple Kapadia about her highly-anticipated role in the Hollywood espionage thriller.  I think doing 'Tenet' has really changed my life. I was always a reluctant actor, I kept putting things off and not doing them. But 'Tenet' has really changed that for me. I'm raring to go now. I want to do a lot of work now, good work." Kapadia, who has an Oracle-like presence as arms dealer Priya Singh in the movie, said Nolan made things easy for actors.

"It was so fantastic and unbelievably easy to slip into (the role). He (Nolan) made it so easy for me to get into it. It was a dream world and I wish I could get that better."
