“I think we all need to take personal responsibility, and take action when we see anything wrong around us. I do that, when I see any man harassing any woman. I go and stop that, even if they are actors.”
“I primarily look at how a role is laid out by the director. I take into consideration my co-stars, before signing a role.”
“Acting is my passion but everyone was against it. But mom insisted that her daughter would do what she wanted, no matter how brilliant a student she was.”
“Believe me when you are part of the Bollywood world, you are always under the dark clouds of stress as work life is very unpredictable here and competition keeps getting hard with every passing day.”
“I was rejected for many-many films.”
“I have never tried to bind myself in some kind of an image on screen. I have always tried to do different things.”
“There comes a point in an actor's life when they have to just lie back and let things fall into place.”
“I do some really intense roles and it's not good to bring them home.”
“I never do any research for my roles.”
“People should learn more about Malala and about her life in Pakistan.”
“If I can work with Shyam Benegal and Yash Chopra together, who are the kings of art house and commercial cinema and win awards for both of them then it means I have placed myself everywhere.”
“It's nice to work hard and party harder.”
“Every field has its pressures and stress factors.”
“Creative freedom on television is very limited and I get bored very easily.”
“I have played different characters in different films and that versatility has worked to my benefit. I don't have to worry about the top or the bottom slot. My place is made in the industry and it's a wonderful one, believe me.”
“Cinema is a creative medium. The director has the right to express.”
“When we are busy with the everyday bhag-daud, one fine day a health scare just stops it all.”
“I have laid a very basic ground rule for myself. I should be a favourite with the audience, they should love me, my role, my acting, appreciate my talent. I don't want to repeat any of my roles, ever.”
“I have never judged a film by its budget or stars.”
“I think Indian men prefer curves. But I believe that one should be fit enough to wear anything.”
