“Frankly, we actresses are so much in a hurry. We feel we have very few years to shine in our career, so we neglect our personal life. But for me, both aspects are equally important. I don’t want to grow old and have regrets.”

Life is full of happiness and tears; be strong and have faith.

My co-stars call me selfish. They say you are only interested in yourself and what you are only interested is yourself and what you are doing in front of the camera. I reply, I can’t help it; it’s what got me where I am.

Actors are greedy. They can never be satisfied. I want praise as well as box office returns.

I am proud to be a vegetarian and I am against those who eat meat. Go green to be fit, that’s the best way for me at least.

You are as old as you look. If you are fit and pretty at an X age, why won’t filmmakers want to cast you, whether you are married or not?

Be it a village or a city, education is very important, and it always comes into you.

I believe in the institution of marriage and it’s like a tag to cement the relationship for your friends, family and public.

Ek Main Aur Ek Tu was a very special film for me. Imran and we complement each other very well. He is sugar, and I am spice.

I don’t want the national award… I seriously do not need any such thing. I would only want the audience to go and watch the film once and that will be more than enough for me. Once everybody should see the movie and say it is a good watch.

I want a man I can keep for myself. I wouldn’t ever share my man with anyone else.

I eat only simple Indian home food – sabzi, roti, dal, chawal, ghee. There are so many benefits of having ghee. My grandmother is 84 and she is still fit and looks beautiful.

Why should I worry about the biological clock ticking? Saif is 10 years older. He should be worried.

You Gujarati people are so cute but why is your food so dangerous dhokla, fafda, handva, thepla it sounds like they are missiles

I don’t take success and failure seriously. The only thing I do seriously is march forward. If I fall, I get up and march again.

Films don’t decide my whole life. They are just a part of who I am. What I do in my personal life should be of no concern to the filmmakers or the fans.

If I want to kiss, I shall kiss. If I am told that a lovemaking scene is integral to the script, I will consider it.

The good thing about being an actress is that it’s very children-friendly. I can work for three months and then I can have six months off. And then I can work for six months and have six months off.

To function as an actress, I have to be in love. I have to have that incentive to work.

There is no model, no actress, no Miss America contender that can outshine a happy, confident, secure woman.

I started out as a lousy actress and have remained one.

To be honest, I never really considered myself to be too much of an actress. So, whenever I get the chance to do music, I’m always, like, just in it. It’s like, ‘Oh my God, I finally get to do this. I’m so happy.’

There is a huge gap between the remuneration of an actor and actress.

The industry looks for white actors and actresses, but it’s not the same for black actors. We have to really put the work in.

As an actress I take roles I find interesting.
