“Ashwin and I don't like elaborate weddings, so we had a court marriage.”

“I believe it is better to take extra precautions now than to regret later.”

“Having a child was difficult.”

“The first character that will be on my epitaph is Monisha from 'Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai.'”

“Though my father guided me on how to act, unknowingly, she has been my teacher. The one actor who I look up to and learn from has been Sridevi. She has been my inspiration.”

“Every artiste vies for that one role, which takes her a level up, where people start recognising your work and acknowledging the fact that you are a good actor.”

“Every medium has its drawback.”

“I didn't want a big, dramatic wedding, but loads of drama happened anyway.”

“I'm that woman who would reuse all the plastic bottles that come home, wear the same clothes time and again, because why not?”

“I have known Akshay from the days he was a struggler.”

“I feel like I am married to my best friend. I share everything with him - whatever happens on the sets or otherwise. In the same way, he shares everything with me, too.”

“I had major thyroid issues, so your fertility count does go down.”

“Akshay is the most amazing teacher in the world.”

“I always wanted to open an old peoples home and an animal shelter.”

“I have never planned anything. I will take things as they come.”

“I feel there wouldn't have been so much love for 'Anupamaa' if Sudhanshu was not played by Vanraj. Vanraj's look and the way he is essaying the role is commendable. Our on and off-screen chemistry is very good.”

“After my marriage, I mellowed down a little as I stopped bargaining with vegetable vendors on streets, but otherwise I am Monisha in real life.”

“In fact, many of us from my generation of actors are in the profession because we were all deeply inspired by Sridevi.”

“Every woman across the globe is my inspiration.”

“I bargain even in departmental stores to get special discount on their 'best prize!' I mean why should the corporate companies make all the money?”
