Actress

I don't mind playing a mom, but if I'm just somebody in someone else's love story, then I'm not interested.

I value my friendships and go out of my way to commit time and energy to them.

I started my career when girls of my age were going to school.

I always wanted to direct a film.

Theatre is a more difficult visual medium than films. You need to hold the attention span of the audience without goofing up and be able to express yourself as vividly as possible.

People often ask me whether I plan to apply for a job after an MBA, but I tell them it is just to gain knowledge.

I feel very strongly that the country needs dedicated people who have passion... rather than those who are in politics only for a career.

Life is not just about profit and loss. One should follow one's conscience and listen to the voice of one's soul.

All I can tell Ashoke Pandit is that I don't go tom-tomming my work; all my social activities are for the betterment of my city and country.

Jaipur has definitely turned into a very beautiful city.

A person's school and teachers help lay a strong foundation, which leads to success.

My children and their generation are not aware of the stardom I had enjoyed during my younger days.

Most of my formative years were in Chandigarh.

TV creates good viewership because it generates interest by being entertaining.

My friends tell me that I have the wrong temperament for politics.

Women are given their due, and I think female-centric roles are also well-written. But it doesn't matter who is in the centre - a male or female. As long as it is an entertaining, gripping film, people just enjoy it.

I was a science student and was aiming to be an IFS officer. But, fortunately, my destiny had some other plans for me.

It was a unique experience, living in 'Bigg Boss' house for 84 days. It would have been fantastic had I won but I am not sad that didn't.

I am a bit fussy when it comes to films.

I have realised that TV is extremely gratifying in the sense that people see you in their houses, and they get very attached to you.
