“Relationships can be very traumatic. But being in a healthy relationship can be very empowering.”

I’m my own hero on the sets; why should I work with other heroes? The Khans did not want to work with me when I started. Why should I work with them now?

When an individual stands against the government and wins, it’s not the victory of the individual but it’s the victory of the democracy.

Who is fit is a hit.

I am not ashamed of anything – not my past, not my affairs, not my body, and most definitely not my desire.

Hits and flops are overrated.

There is a huge gap between the remuneration of an actor and actress.

I realised fashion is nothing but freedom of expression.

My biggest asset is that I know how to learn, and that, I believe, will help me in the long run.

I am an independent girl. I always put my work first in my priority.

I don’t find it humiliating when they call me a psychopath or witch.

As it is, relationships are difficult, aren’t they?

People talk about PlayStations, video games, social network and Twitter; I can’t handle it.

I don’t feel like a 27-year-old; I feel I am way mature than someone that age.

The kind of roles which you get, people identify with your roles, and it then leads to the kind of brands you get.

I don’t seek validation outside, not even with the audience. Today they like me, but tomorrow they may hate me. I don’t want to be anybody’s role model.

If a woman is super-successful, she is called a psychopath.

If we empower women, we empower humanity.

Sometimes you’ve got to kick your heels off and sit down a minute, so you can be ready for your next step!

You cannot use someone else’s fire. You can only use your own. And in order to do that, you must first be willing to believe that you have it.

Being brave means that knowing when you fail, you won’t fail forever.

I am myself. That is not enough.

A woman has the age she deserves.

When you’re pretttttty sure that if you were a man, you’d be the man.

Women bring the grace of renewal, the embrace of inclusion, and the courage to give of oneself.
