“If I had all the time in the world to waste, I'd really love to see what the members of the so-called-fashion-police sport. Do they not repeat their clothes, shoes, bags?”

“I am a huge Kishore Kumar fan. What can I say? The man was born to entertain!”

“I let my work speak for me.”

“Our forests offer much more than just beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Each one has a different story to tell.”

“There is a right time for everything. There was a time when I wanted to settle down and have a family. I wanted to give time to my kids. I had worked for nearly 19 years when I got married.”

“I was fat and ugly. In school, I was disgustingly obese. I used to be the butt of ridicule, and that made me withdraw into a shell. It made me miserable, unsure of myself. I was far from confident.”

“One thing that really gets on my nerves is people spitting on the streets! I fail to understand whether they are just plain uncivilized or uninformed about how the act only helps in spreading diseases.”

“I really don't think I will do the dancing type of movies with 'jhatka-matkas' any more. Every actor goes through a phase, and so did I.”

“I am not a foodie; I eat to live.”

“We have so much poverty in our country. Not every parent can afford to buy their kids all the frills and perks, but teenagers still demand it, and are we responsible for it!”

“I have been to Kargil, and I have seen the tragedy that both the Indians and the Pakistanis faced.”

“I believe you must enjoy the life that God has given you. Cherish it, because it is all you have. You could be here right now, and in two seconds, you could be gone.”

“I never thought I would become an actress.”

“My dad taught me very early in life that whenever a child learns to walk, he falls a lot of times, but then he picks himself up and learns to walk like a man, and that is something which is a motto in life as well. You gotta pick yourself up, and you gotta walk, and you gotta walk strong.”

“Acting is in my blood.”
