“I am a sports fanatic.”

My mom loves saris, and when I was a child, she told me ‘a girl looks good in an Indian traditional outfit.’ So, somehow it stayed in my head, and I really enjoy Indian wear.

I think imparting sex education to children is important.

It doesn’t matter if you are a man or woman; you need to stand up for yourself. If you have been abused, you deserve justice.

When people appreciate my work, that’s satisfying as an artiste.

I do not believe in starving myself.

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.

I’m not a big fan of western movies and I really don’t like cowboy-indian movies. I have never watched them.

I am very happy that Floyd Mayweather and I can give the fans the fight they have wanted for so many years.

I’ll never forget one time a fan came up to me crying, and told me, ‘You really inspire me to be me. I feel OK to be myself now.’

There are so many fans and so many people who care deeply about this game, and it is because of these fans that we are who we are as cricketers.

I want my fans to understand that what you put into the universe is what you get back.

I know how influential I am over my fans and followers. I feel like everything I do, my hair color, my makeup, I always start these huge trends, and I don’t even realize what I’m capable of.

I quite like American music, like The Fray – I’m a massive fan of them – and The Killers. I also like more acoustic stuff like Ed Sheeran; I like this English songwriter James Morrison and another singer called Ben Howard.

For me, my work, family, and fans are the most important; rest is just there.
