“Everything that creative people think and do is from the heart.”

My parents never raised their hand or fired me. Their way of disciplining me was to tell me what is right or wrong.

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.
