Kareena Kapoor Khan

“I don't know why people feel that I am snooty. I am not a person who has ever given an interview on image building. I have never been that person, as I am very confident of what I do. People do PR, but I get completely foxed. I don't know how to do it. I stay away from the limelight, as I think my work should speak on my behalf.”

“I want a man I can keep for myself. I wouldn't ever share my man with anyone else.”

“My co-stars call me selfish. They say, 'You are only interested in yourself and what you are only interested is yourself and what you are doing in front of the camera.' I reply, 'I can't help it; it's what got me where I am.'”

“It's unarguable that the right shoes can really add elegance to an outfit and to the person who's wearing them. Take a pair of high heels, for instance. Suddenly, you're looking taller, shoulders back, body curved.”

“Actors are greedy. They can never be satisfied. I want praise as well as box office returns.”

“I am not a home breaker and I can never be. I haven't been brought up to create havoc in other people's homes.”

“I am passionate about acting. 'Girls in our family are not allowed to act' is quite an outdated thought to have. They did it till my mother, but now no more.”

“I think a woman looks best in a sari.”

“'Ek Main Aur Ek Tu' was a very special film for me. Imran and we complement each other very well. He is sugar, and I am spice.”

“You are as old as you look. If you are fit and pretty at an X age, why won't filmmakers want to cast you, whether you are married or not?”

“I started my career with 'Refugee' in Bhuj. Now, it has become a full-fledged city.”

“Frankly, we actresses are so much in a hurry. We feel we have very few years to shine in our career, so we neglect our personal life. But for me, both aspects are equally important. I don't want to grow old and have regrets.”

“It is important to be well read, at least a little bit.”

“If I want to kiss, I shall kiss. If I am told that a lovemaking scene is integral to the script, I will consider it.”

“'Heroine' is about a declining and imbalanced superstar - a very brave and bold role. I wanted to test whether I could carry a role like this. I have given 200 per cent to this role. She's a very complex character, very aggressive, manipulative and bold, yet she's very fragile.”

“A lot of guys try to mingle with me because of who I am. If I encounter a guy with a clean heart, I will go by my instincts. I guess my man won't be from the film industry.”

“Be it a village or a city, education is very important, and it always comes into you.”

“I eat only simple Indian home food - sabzi, roti, dal, chawal, ghee. There are so many benefits of having ghee. My grandmother is 84 and she is still fit and looks beautiful.”

“One should eat everything especially healthy and not junk food. I don't like the idea of starving. I would eat and burn it out in gym. The amount of intake is what matters.”

“My professional life has nothing to do with my personal life and vice versa.”
