“My last conversation with my father was an argument we'd had. When I came to know of his hospitalisation, I'd lost him within seven hours. I still regret the last conversation with him.”

“I'm a religious, spiritual person, but if there is good in the world, there must be evil, too.”

“TV isn't like films; you can't rest on your laurels.”

“Even on holidays, I wake up early, and by 7 A.M., I am out sightseeing.”

“'Mahadev' got me most recognition. But I have to say that post 'Kyunki'... I was offered everything under the sun. Being an outsider, who didn't have to work too hard, I was overwhelmed.”

“I would be a very sad person if I didn't have dance in my life. However I can, whatever I do, I just feel a lot of joy. Even if I am sad, if you take me to a rehearsal hall, I will automatically become happy.”

“I know that gossip comes with a territory. It's a professional hazard, and while initially, I'd get a little riled, I've now learnt to handle it well. And honestly speaking, it's all very good publicity, isn't it?”

“I got roles from good production houses, though I wasn't keen on them, as I was asked to - and I won't - wear a bikini in a film. I'm not conservative, as I'd wear it on holidays, but definitely not in front of the camera. I have to think of my family.”

“I've never planned any of my career moves. Things have just happened, and luckily, they've worked out for the best.”

“I am interested in Bollywood. Everyone wants to do bigger and better work. I also want to do good work.”

“I have done a lot of reality shows. In fact,my first show was 'Shava Shava', which was a singing reality show.”

“I have never done a show based on whether it will work or not. I took up all my shows because I liked the character and wanted to be part of those shows.”

“Except for a few episodes, I have not watched any of my shows. I don't think I like to watch myself on TV. I get very critical about what I am saying.”
