“A lot of guys try to mingle with me because of who I am. If I encounter a guy with a clean heart, I will go by my instincts. I guess my man won’t be from the film industry.”

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.

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.

Yoga may look peaceful and calming, but even Arnold Schwarzenegger would have trouble breathing after twenty surya namaskars in a row.

Starve a heart long enough and it will learn to feed on its own love.

What other dungeon is so dark as one’s own heart! What jailer so inexorable as one’s self!

Men wear hearts on the sleeves that boys wipe their noses on.

Do not seek Adolf Hitler with your mind. You will find him through the strength of your hearts.

You can’t give your heart to a wild thing.

He put in your heart certain wishes and plans; in my heart he put other different desires.

I have laughed, in bitterness and agony of heart, at the contrast between what I seem and what I am!

He is the sun melting the snow in my heart.
