“We need to teach boys to respect girls.”

Gujaratis are really cute people, and I find Gujarati to be a very sweet language.

I never thought of becoming an actress, but I always dreamt of winning a beauty pageant, and I achieved that.

Running is something that I have been doing from a long time, and hence, it is very important to me.

Modelling has given me so much confidence.

I feel very fortunate to have made my debut with Sunny Deol. I’m aware of his stardom, his popularity, and his reach. I’m sure that teaming up with him has made people sit back and notice me.

Besides being a national level basketball champion, I have played a lot of other sports like volleyball, badminton, kho-kho, and kabbadi.

People need to understand that whatever they see us saying on screen, we are not doing it on our own.

I don’t want people to treat me like a star or call me one.

The only way to be successful in what you do is to love what you do.

I believe in quality over quantity.

If a man wants to objectify a woman, he will do it even if she’s clad from head to toe.

Fitness is just like marriage: you cannot cheat on it and think it would benefit you. People need to incorporate it as part of their daily life.

I want to convey to women across the globe that they aren’t weak. They can fight for themselves and get justice.

I like to eat in proportion, eat healthy, home-cooked food with lots of salad.

For me, a script has to be convincing, bold, and experimental. It needs to overpower all my senses.

When you become a pageant winner, you become a known face. So, winning a pageant helps us in making inroads into the industry.

Education must be a great equaliser in our society. It must be the tool to level the differences that our various social systems have created over the past thousands of years.

I mean, I wasn’t the best student in school. It would be different if I were to pursue music while I was already in school and doing things for my parents to be proud of and music was a side thing. Being that I dropped everything to do music, they was not with it.

The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.

My father gave me formal education in raagdari. He died in Lahore in 1964 when I was 13. I was in the tenth year of school, and my father’s brother took me into the qawwali ensemble and started giving me formal education in qawwali.

The thing that’s wonderful about social media is that we are able to give a voice to the voiceless and to help educate each other. I benefit from it as much as I provide those lessons.

I think imparting sex education to children is important.

The best way would be education and kids and all that stuff and then education and working education comes through. Then I started a music school and the music school now teaches kids to play the violin and the viola.

Education has for its object the formation of character.
