“I am blessed with good genes and I eat right.”

“I am not publicity-hungry.”

“I might not be as successful as other actresses in the industry, but for me I have achieved success.”

“I am somebody who never dreamed of being a part of this industry. I thank Salman for giving me the opportunity. I never thought that I could be a part of the film world without him.”

“Indian women have always been full-bodied and men like voluptuous women. Size zero is a concept of the West and it is only meant for the runway models, not for us.”

“I wonder why it has taken such a long time in our country to understand or look at the potential of plus-size models. So what if they are plus-size, they are confident and have equal enthusiasm for life.”

“After 'Veer' failed to set the cash registers ringing, I was written off. I was severely criticized for my weight. But, I took it in my stride and lost several kilos.”

“You wear the clothes and the clothes don't wear you. Don't follow trends blindly.”

“There are so many things going on in your head while shooting bold scenes. On screen it might look sensual, or hot and great. But when you're shooting for it, you need to take care of so many things.”

“I try to do films that touch upon social issues or problems that the country or the world is facing.”

“If I want to talk to Salman I can do it anytime.”

“I have learnt to never take anything for granted.”

“I like to keep my posts relatable and don't just post fake things for publicity. I don't go putting out posts just to gain more followers.”

“I am very scared of Salman and intimidated by him. My talkative behaviour disappears and I am a very different person when Salman is in front of me.”

“I never ever had any plans of coming into films and never wanted to become an actress.”

“Well, my skin is very sensitive, so I don't experiment much with it and prefer to keep it natural.”

“There may be hundred fit people who may dislike me because of my weight, but there are 500 girls out there who look up to me and are inspired by me.”

“Even though there are a lot of misconceptions about me not being an Indian, I am born and brought up in Bandra.”

“Trolling never bothers me. There are so many times when I don't even pay attention to it.”

“I am Salman's discovery and I have no problems when people say that. Whatever I am today is because of him. I feel very proud that I am associated with him.”
