“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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am a hell raiser. I do my own thing. And I believe what I do is the right thing.

I think a woman looks best in a sari.

I’m not fixed in any genre. I love all kinds of films. The essential thing is; you have to have good material. If you have the filmmaker, and the material, and the script is good, you can start from there.

I love being verbal in films.

I never think there’s any competition between films. I root for everybody’s films. I especially have a fond place in my heart for graphic novels and comics.

Movies are a whole different ball-game, now. It’s much more of a business – very scientific.

I like a lot of Tom Cruise’s roles, he’s this action hero.

Characters I’ve played, they used to impact my paintings, like 80 percent of the time, and especially when I was doing an action film.

As much as I have films and all that sort of stuff, a lot of my memories are to do with relationships and love.

A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.
