Actress

I hope I am offered good roles and all my releases are hits.

Enemies are dispirited when they see you happy. They know their purpose can be thwarted.

We need women behind the camera like we do in front of the camera. That's when we will have stronger, smarter, better roles for us.

It is nice to know different languages and cultures because it opens up your window to life.

I did a soft drink ad some time back. Later, a mother came to me and said that her child started consuming more of that drink after seeing my ad. It made me measure my actions.

It's a constant struggle to reinvent yourself and stay relevant.

When I studied in DPS Mathura Road in Delhi, there was a school for blind exactly opposite to our school. I used to go there every week and spend time seeing how these students played cricket and did other things normally.

I enjoy every role that I do. But I would love to do a dance-based film. It can even be the biopic of a great Indian classical dancer. I want to push boundaries.

When a filmmaker like Deepa Mehta felt that I should work with her, I took up her offer.

To be honest, I think it's a fair argument to ask actors not to endorse fairness products. We don't need to be fair in this country, and there's a whole lot of madness about being fair. Many advertisements are projected in a manner that if you aren't fair, you don't get married - and when you get fairer with the creams, you do!

My base will always be Mumbai since my parents live here and I will always come down to Mumbai or fly down south for work.

I do not plan my career or sign films that just come my way.

I'm a free bird and I follow my own rules.

The art works of women, who are intelligent and creative, need to be showcased and understanding their thoughts through art can definitely urge us to support them better.

I am old-fashioned and like to be taken out for a movie and dinner.

Well, I just love to read books. I read a lot.

I love to take up projects outside my comfort zone and give them my best.

I did 'Midnight's Children' and 'Cooking with Stella' when I was at the peak of my career.

I am glad that I have only got love and appreciation in my career. I have no bad experience.

When I was in school, I had no one to guide me apart from my parents and teachers.
