“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 have always been in a relationship. I don’t remember the time when I wasn’t in one

It’s a political and manipulative industry. Actors vie for the same roles, movies are snatched away. Have I ever been manipulated? Yes. But I haven’t manipulated anyone because if you think from the heart, you cannot be calculative. I have spent nights crying.

Heroine’ is about a declining and imbalanced superstar – a very brave and bold role. I wanted to test whether I could carry a role like this. I have given 200 per cent to this role. She’s a very complex character, very aggressive, manipulative and bold, yet she’s very fragile.

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.

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

Never kiss anyone who doesn’t believe in poetry.

You are always new. The last of your kisses was even the sweetest; the last smile the brightest; the last movement the gracefullest.

Kiss me Its been so long since I have seen the stars.

You are always new, the last of your kisses was ever the sweetest.

And how they kist each other’s tremulous eyes.

But the rose leaves herself upon the brier, For winds to kiss and grateful bees to feed.

A sensitive plant in a garden grew, And the young winds fed it with silver dew, And it opened its fan like leaves to the light, and closed them beneath the kisses of night.

See the mountains kiss high Heaven And the waves clasp one another; No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother; And the sunlight clasps the earth, And the moonbeams kiss the sea – What is all this sweet work worth If thou kiss not me?
