“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?”

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.

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.

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.

Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.

My oh my, have you ever noticed how beautiful you look doing what you love?

If we look at Abdel Nasser in Egypt as an Arab leader, he was secular.

People don’t need to feel scared about a leather pant. Think of it as a jean alternative: it’s the same thing. It’s almost like they’re your yoga pants, but they look chic.

No one appears on our stage unless the director has placed them there for our benefit.

I keep kind of making certain mistakes in public appearances over and over again.

For work I get so dolled up that it’s nice to wear boyfriend jeans and a sweater.

I don’t tend to go totally bare, but on non-filming days, I will only wear tinted moisturiser, mascara, blusher, and a ChapStick for my lips.
