My co-stars call me selfish. They say, 'You are only interested in yourself and what you are only interested is yourself and what you are doing in front of the camera.' I reply, 'I can't help it; it's what got me where I am.'
-
I am not a home breaker and I can never be. I haven't been brought up to create havoc in other people's homes.
-
I am passionate about acting. 'Girls in our family are not allowed to act' is quite an outdated thought to have. They did it till my mother, but now no more.
-
I do my own thing. And I believe what I do is the right thing.
-
My thinking is lot more different with many actresses in the industry. I don't understand why people in showbiz put their profession of acting in the back seat after marriage.
-
My professional life has nothing to do with my personal life and vice versa.
-
Frankly, we actresses are so much in a hurry. We feel we have very few years to shine in our career, so we neglect our personal life. But for me, both aspects are equally important. I don't want to grow old and have regrets.

Yoga may look peaceful and calming, but even Arnold Schwarzenegger would have trouble breathing after twenty 'surya namaskars' in a row.
-
It is important to be well read, at least a little bit.
-
'Heroine' is about a declining and imbalanced superstar - a very brave and bold role. I wanted to test whether I could carry a role like this. I have given 200 per cent to this role. She's a very complex character, very aggressive, manipulative and bold, yet she's very fragile.
-
Life is full of happiness and tears; be strong and have faith.
-
I believe in the institution of marriage and it's like a tag to cement the relationship for your friends, family and public.
-
Actors are greedy. They can never be satisfied. I want praise as well as box office returns.
-
I eat only simple Indian home food - sabzi, roti, dal, chawal, ghee. There are so many benefits of having ghee. My grandmother is 84 and she is still fit and looks beautiful.
-
I don't take success and failure seriously. The only thing I do seriously is march forward. If I fall, I get up and march again.
-
A lot of guys try to mingle with me because of who I am. If I encounter a guy with a clean heart, I will go by my instincts. I guess my man won't be from the film industry.
-
You are as old as you look. If you are fit and pretty at an X age, why won't filmmakers want to cast you, whether you are married or not?

In 2007, my life changed forever. I signed on 'Tashan,' a full-on glamorous masala movie, with two of the hottest and fittest actors around: Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. And me, rising out of the sea like a Bond girl, wearing nothing but a green bikini. I had nightmares of how my love handles would be on display for the whole world to see.
-
I never really do much research before signing a film. It is just the script and character that I concentrate on.
-
Once, in a magazine interview, I said the difference between shoe ladies and bag ladies is that shoe ladies are just a bit classier. Finished! That started World War III among all the women I knew. I only meant that shoes do more for your look and body than bags do!
-
My parents are very modern. My father is a cosmopolitan person. He always supported the fact that I will be an actress. There is nothing else I would do rather than being an actor.
-
If I want to kiss, I shall kiss. If I am told that a lovemaking scene is integral to the script, I will consider it.
-
Be it a village or a city, education is very important, and it always comes into you.
-
I think a woman looks best in a sari.
