“I believe there is a lesson in everything that you do.”

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.

You take those little rascals, talk to them good, pat them on the back, let them think they are good, and they will go out and beat the biguns.

Over time, I have come to believe that ‘brave’ does not mean what we think it does. It does not mean ‘being afraid and doing it anyway.’ Nope. Brave means listening to the still small voice inside and doing as it says. Regardless of what the rest of the world is saying.

In a crisis, don’t hide behind anything or anybody. They’re going to find you anyway.

In these trying economic times, I believe the White House should have a minimalist touch: open floor plan, glass and steel, throw pillows, and an infinity pool.

Self-belief and hard work will always earn you success.

I keep telling myself that I don’t miss you and that I don’t love you hoping that someday I will believe it.

I think it’s important for girls to be confident. Believe in yourself and everybody’s hot.

If wanting to win is a fault, as some of my critics seem to insist, then I plead guilty. I like to win. I know no other way. It’s in my blood.
