I only entered Miss India after pressure from friends and because I thought it would be a laugh.
You give to the world your greatest gift when you're being yourself.
I'm just average woman with average concerns.
Of course people kiss and of course people have a very healthy love life. This is the land of the Kama Sutra. But nevertheless, in our society you don't really see people around the street corner kissing or being extremely, overtly, physically demonstrative publicly. They do it privately, but not publicly.
I'm not a tease. I don't go around fluttering my eyelashes and wrapping men around my little finger.
I always knew I would be successful. So there was no element of surprise.
I don't believe in proving a point to anybody. Nobody is that important.
I am an emotional person off-screen and would hate to hurt or snub someone.
I'm still being asked if I was physically abused. It saddens me that I'm being portrayed as this battered woman.
Salman...
Salman Khan's like a baby. We're always sparring on the sets. If he gives me attitude, I give him loads of it in return.
ON FILMS...
(On getting the part in Bride and Prejudice) I was more excited than scared, at the opportunity to work in an English movie.
I don't know why there's so much noise about a kiss or a passionate scene that I have done. The script demanded it!
I know for a fact that if there's a role which I am suited for, I'll be signed on. I'll never go begging.
I believe that as an actress all my fears and phobias exist till I sign on the dotted line for a film.
It's strange that Rakesh Roshan thinks I look older than Hrithik. In fact, he's approached me for all his home productions.
My first priority now is work. I have achieved a bit of what I wanted to do, as an actress. Now it's my time to grow as an artiste and do good quality work.
I have openly told David Dhawan that his film is like a vacation for me, a paid holiday.
Abhishek...
“I think he’s a wonderful actor. I’ve always admired his approach to his work. You have to admire all the actors (in Drona), I did. Abhishek played Drona realistically. I viewed the film through a child’s eyes. It has to be perceived as a fantasy adventure,”
He understands cinema so well that he is not afraid of taking risks. He stands by his family, friends all the time and because of this I identify a lot with him,” she gushed.
“I know him for a very long time now. Together we have grown from actors to colleagues to friends and now we share a very special bond. It is definitely a nice feeling,” she added.
