“Indian women usually tend to forget themselves once married.”

“I think, more than my husband, my mother-in-law gets excited and proud and what not whenever she sees me on-screen.”

“As an actor, your whole body needs to be expressive, and unless you know the language, your expressions will not match the character you are playing. So, I am learning Tamil to the fullest.”

“Art and cinema is not restricted to any language.”

“A story and character are most important for me, not how I look, what clothes I wear, or what nail paint has been chosen for me.”

“I would never want to be treated as a prop, to be looked on as an object just because of my gender.”

“I am one of those who will not do anything and just sit at home if I don't like the work coming my way.”

“I have no qualms working on a quintessential Bollywood film, but I can't work on mindless no-brainers. I have too much self-respect for that.”

“I dont have any problem doing glamorous role, but give me some meat in it.”

“Acting is a psychological profession, and every character drains you emotionally, regardless of whether it is an intense art house movie or a light-hearted commercial series.”

“In Delhi, I have never taken an auto, while in Mumbai, if there is an auto strike, my life will come to a full stop.”

“For me, content is paramount, and even if I'm to do a potboiler, the content should be excellent.”

“I am a very instinct-driven person.”

“As a performing artiste, we always need love and support from family.”

“I want to do roles which excite me, where I am eager to get up early, prepare, and reach for the shoot.”

“At first, I was worried sharing screen with an actor like Nawazuddin Siddiqui, because he is a remarkable actor and an outstanding person.”

“I want to be tagged as an actor and not as a star.”

“'Laakhon Mein Ek' is one of my favourite projects.”

“I am happy that I am getting roles to prove my acting calibre.”

“I want to play male characters; I want to be Ranbir Kapoor of 'Rockstar.' Those are exciting parts.”
