Actress

Everyone is different, and each has to create his or her own path, irrespective of who their parents are.

Two single, young souls can fall in love. What's the big deal? Rather, it's a good thing.

It was a miracle that I became an actress. I survived because of hard work and perseverance.

Nepotism is a natural thing that happens in every field.

I am very much of an Indian by heart.

Presumably, with age, you mellow down.

You cannot control the spending habits of people. It is a free society, after all, and people should have right to spend their money as they wish.
