“I do a lot of kick-boxing to keep in shape.”
“I fail to understand why the #MeToo campaign in India didn't gain momentum when Malayalam actor Dileep was arrested after an actress was abducted and assaulted or when Telugu actress Sri Reddy was banned for talking about sexual harassment. These instances were more deserving of the #MeToo movement than anything else.”
“I won't say that I dream of playing etched characters like Meena Kumari's in 'Pakeezah.' Though I have seen the film 20 times but you can't compete with something as classic as that.”
“I'm a private person and hate making friends.”
“I have been politically victimized.”
“Well, I always wanted to work with Anubhav Sinha.”
“I will try exercise my freedom of speech by avoiding legalities.”
“I had been contemplating working on fiction show for some time and 'Humsafars' seemed like the perfect choice.”
“The concept of marriage does not matter to me.”
“People told me that I was the best-looking girl in my college. But it was only after I won a beauty pageant in 2002 that I became confident.”
“Ever since I met Sangram Singh, I am at peace with myself.”
“I'm associated with bold scenes and I look glamourous.”
“I'm thinking of running off to L.A.”
“No matter what their profession, there's a certain category of men who let passion overcome reason as soon as a girl offers them her company. More often than not, they turn out to be losers.”
“I'm going through this phase where I don't make an effort to make friends with anyone. This is primarily because I know that people try to make friends only till the time the camera is on. I'm not comfortable with such friendships and I didn't resort to it in 'Bigg Boss' either.”
“I faced a lot of backlash when I spoke about being sexually harassed by Dibakar Banerjee. Not directly, but indirectly, I was boycotted by the entire fraternity that supported the director, because it is a male-dominated set-up.”
“I have not been taken seriously as an actor.”
“When I started off, nobody held my hand and told me what I should do and how I should portray myself as an actor.”
“When I joined Bollywood, I too wanted decent and challenging roles but there were no offers. Directors and producers look at me as a woman who is willing to expose and that is the only reason they want to sign me.”
“In films, maybe I was lost or typecast.”
