“To me, the mind and body are one. I’m very transparent, in a way, and people can very easily make out what mood I’m in.”

There is a strong side to me, that is of a homemaker. I look forward to spending time at home in the evenings, cooking a meal, chatting with my parents and inviting friends over.

I wish to be appreciated not only as a film star but also for the person I am. If I manage to bring a smile on people’s faces, then I think I’ll be successful.

I am very scared to invest emotionally in a relationship.

For doing comedy, a sense of humor is a must!

Having had a lived experience with mental illness, I understand the importance of emotional wellbeing.

I don’t like differentiating between art and commercial cinema.

I have always been focused on my job. No profession allows you the luxury of being half-focused. If you’re not into it, you’re not there. And the film industry is all the more harsh in these cases, perhaps because it’s a business of the limelight.

I still live as normal a life as anybody else. I have two homes to run. I have my staff to take care of. I work, pay bills and attend society meetings like everybody else.

I have always believed that chemistry can’t be created between two people. You either have it or you don’t. The script can only enhance it.

While I believe that when you are in the glamour industry, you have to look your best, I also believe being skinny is not ‘hot and happening.’

Realize that you are not alone, that we are in this together and most importantly that there is hope.

I was getting to perform with an actor with whom I had never interacted before.

The styling takes you straight into the world of a specific film.

I am methodical to the point of being obsessive-compulsive. And I have always been good at multi-tasking.

I’ve grown up watching Shah Rukh Khan and never really imagined that one day I will get to play the lead opposite him.

I don’t think I am a star; I consider myself like any other girl who is of my age. Others may be working in office and doing different jobs. Similarly I don’t think I am doing something different. I am also working.

I was so skinny, they gave me the nickname stechetto – the stick. I was tall, thin, ugly and dark like an Arab girl. I looked strange. All eyes. No flesh on my bones.

I’m not a big guy anyway. I’m only, what, 150 pounds? I was 190 for ‘Batman,’ 179 for ‘Warrior.’ Films make you look big.

Today healing energy constantly flows through every organ, joint and cell in my body.

We have been given God in our souls and Christ in our flesh. We have the power to believe where others deny, to hope where others despair, to love where others hurt.

The spirit for me is the eternal self. And when one incarnates, an aspect comes with that incarnation, that’s called the soul. And together the mind, the emotional body, and the soul form the energy field that lives within this thing called the human body.

My body has forgotten what my own warmth feels like and the ice on my skin has frost bitten all those who have tried to hold me.

My longing is to have you back. Your body, your soul all at once.

Your biography becomes your biology. This biography includes the totality of your choices, the things you feed your body – you thoughts, your actions, your food – the thing you feed your life.
