“Weight has never been a deterrent in finding the right role.”

“It used to be crazy as I would shoot till 5 A. M. for Kapil's show and then rush to the sets of 'Akbar Birbal' and then finish my dance practice.”

“I don't endorse sex comedies. Even in TV shows, there are many double meaning dialogues and I am not really comfortable doing that.”

“I have loved, adored and admired Irrfan Khan's work. Some of his movies are remarkable. So, working with him has been an honor and pleasure for me.”

“Once you grow up in a routine life, you start looking for funny moments from daily life. I don't know where did I get my sense of humor from but I used to joke on even small things, slowly things fall in place.”

“It's not about genre, I want to work where I enjoy myself.”

“To me, every serial is equally important.”

“I have never learnt dancing, but I love dancing.”

“Which other actor has appeared in one-half of a dance show as a girl and in the second-half as a man?”

“I couldn't believe it the first time when I was a part of 'Angrezi Medium.'”

“My cameo appearance in 'Happy New Year' doesn't mean I am seriously considering a shift to cinema, not at all.”

“Life has changed since my kids. I love visiting gaming parlors and playing with them for hours on end.”

“I am extremely excited to play the character of Akbar once again on BIG Magic's 'Naya Akbar Birbal.' There is no better feeling than knowing that your character is so loved by the audience.”

“I fit well in the comedy zone. A plump and chubby figure goes well with most onscreen characters... it adds more value to what I say.”

“My character has got its own individuality after the 'Comedy Nights.' People recognize me as Palak. I'm quite happy that Palak has attained such an identity.”

“In a live show, the reaction to our jokes is instant. You know immediately whether the joke is working or not.”

“I love to observe children, the way they talk and express themselves. 'Talk to my hand' is something I heard my son and his friends say. Even when I was in the U.S. attending college, it used to be a favorite snub for comments that we didn't appreciate. So I incorporated it into the act. I never imagined it would become so popular.”

“I don't get much time to rehearse for dance everyday. At the end of the day, I get drained out. With a heavy body, it's difficult to manage but I am trying.”

“I as an individual can always take a joke on me, big time, there's no doubt on that.”

“The character of Akbar, among other characters that I portray on TV, has consistently been the most loved by my fans.”
