“When I was overweight, people called me cute.”

“Life is too short to give pain to others. I eat to the fullest, sleep long and make people laugh whole heartedly.”

“I don't believe in hiding anything about my personal life.”

“When we were doing 'Khatra Khatra Khatra', I would often talk to all these actors and they mentioned how they would fast for long hours. I decided to give it a try.”

“I share a great bond with Kapil bhai. I may not talk to anyone else but I definitely talk to Kapil and his wife daily.”

“I never planned to lose weight. Even when I was born the doctor credited me as an overweight child in the ward. At school too, I was awarded a prize for maximum weight. So it was never like, that being fat was in fashion and I suddenly decided to get it.”

“Sudesh Lahri spotted me in a park playing, and called me for a small role in a play.”

“The lockdown has affected all the artistes, especially the daily soap artists and the new faces of the television industry.”

“During the lockdown, I remain busy in household chores. Since there are no domestic helps, we have to everything from sweeping to mopping and washing utensils on our own.”

“Initially, people didn't believe that Haarsh bought a car for himself and I didn't gift it to him. He bought it from his hard-earned money. He works tirelessly, day in and night out and keeps me really happy. I am so proud of my husband.”

“If I go home I'll see poverty, I didn't want to go home. No vegetables today. So make black tea and eat stuffed bread dipped in black tea. The noise from the machine while stitching dupattas. I've heard that for 21 years of my life because my mother used to stitch veils. I still get irked when I listen to it.”

“I really want to tell all the girls that even if you are fat, have less hair or have a dark complexion, understand that it is all God's plan. Now I can confidently say that I am more popular than many slim girls. One should love themselves and find their own individuality.”

“I don't know when will I do movies. I have so much work lined up that I am not able to find time for anything else, already. I love television. All the TV characters are so popular.”

“I don't even have photos of my father in my house. I don't allow anyone to put them up.”

“While initially I would crave food late at night, I worked hard on it and now my body has accepted the new change. I don't follow any diet, I just don't eat anything between 7 pm-12 pm.”

“I'm not insecure about my body weight, or my money. I can take care of it. But I can't imagine or think losing my mother. I can't get her back. I would want to go before her.”

“In my life, I just have my mother. I don't have a father. When I was just two years old, he passed away.”

“I am a typical Indian woman, who loves to buy vegetables, cook food and take care of the house.”

“Pizza or pasta do not tingle my taste buds, neither can I digest them.”

“The last 30-32 years I haven't taken care of myself, and would eat at odd times. That caused a lot of issues and I was even at borderline diabetes.”
