“My character in 'Fanaah' has a cool and crazy look at the same time. I'm very particular about my accessories and clothes and love discussing and working on the look with the team. We all work on it together and gather loads of references.”

“If I am comfortable, I say what I want to. But yes, while doing a comedy show, I am slightly reserved as a person. Since it's scripted, it's not a problem. I can manage.”

“Comedy is the toughest. If it goes little bit here and there, and your partner doesn't cover up for you, then everything can go wrong.”

“I get along with people very easily.”

“Hits, flops, and everything in between - I got to do a lot of different things as an actor, had a lot of good learning experiences. So I think I've done reasonably okay for myself, and God has given me more than what I've asked for.”

“To play an older woman, 'til the look is not affected, it is never a problem for me. To play a matured character, it's different. You get to learn so much. It becomes more serious.”

“I have good memories of Bangalore.”

“Working out, no matter what time of the night, rejuvenates me. At times, I don't feel sleepy after a workout session, as I am all fresh and charged up, and I don't mind compromising on my sleep.”

“We are often told by our friends and family members to not go to a particular place owing to some unkown energies that might have existed there, making us form superstitions in our mind.”

“It is difficult to portray grey characters because there is a very thin line between being nasty and slightly negative.”

“My work is appreciated; I am getting good offers. Honestly, we are both doing well professionally. My husband has also been busy with work, and so have I.”

“I've done second leads in movies, I've done really small roles, too. Other actors never bother me, I believe I'm decent enough to make my own place.”

“Fortunately, I have always played younger than what I am.”

“I think playing a comic role is the toughest job for an actor; to put glycerin and cry is easy, but to make people laugh is difficult.”

“I get bored of carrying the same bag often. So, I end up buying more.”

“My character Preet in 'Fanaah' had a very distinctive appearance: loud make-up and dramatic clothes.”

“I am often compared to actors who were launched with me. I feel blessed with whatever I have got so far.”

“One falls in love without thinking!”

“I think TV is evolving, but on the other hand, there is a presence of regressive shows happening, but I choose to ignore that because I am part of a very different and challenging soap.”

“Honestly, I have a decent sense of humour with people I am close to.”
