Actress

Believe me when you are part of the Bollywood world, you are always under the dark clouds of stress as work life is very unpredictable here and competition keeps getting hard with every passing day.

I have never tried to bind myself in some kind of an image on screen. I have always tried to do different things.

My father passed away when I was seven, mom single-handedly brought up my brother Rahul and me. She was a civil surgeon posted in rural areas. We went through some tough times but she gave us a beautiful life.

My career has been far from cliched. I have always done unconventional roles and I am proud of all of them.

Creative freedom on television is very limited and I get bored very easily.

For me, what matters is who are you working with, what you are working on, and when all that fits naturally, I let it go. Then, I don't care if it is bold or if it needs me to be uninhibited. I just want the role that I am playing to come out the way it should.

You are inspired to give a better performance when there are good actors with you.

I always feel guilty later if I behave rudely with anyone.

Theatre has always been at the back of my mind but somehow I never got around to doing it.

A fan proposed to me several times.

The reach of big-budget films is bigger, but I have always loved doing films that I believe in.

I don't believe in the concept of size zero.

Movies like 'Gul Makai' carry an important message, such movies should be made as it shows us the struggle people go through in the real world.

I keep rediscovering myself with every film. It is great to be doing that, it gives great satisfaction.

I can never forget my role in 'Baghban' because I was expected to act nasty with Amitabh Bachchan and I did not like it.

I'm glad that I'm not a stereotypical actor.

I am learning cooking... all my mother's recipes.

I do some really intense roles and it's not good to bring them home.

Greedy actors should never be satisfied.
