I have never planned my life.

I like to be in different roles.

A fan proposed to me several times.

I was rejected for many-many films.

Anything with chocolates tempts me.

Greedy actors should never be satisfied.

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

Every field has its pressures and stress factors.

I do have mood swings which can go into extremes.

I have never judged a film by its budget or stars.

I love running around trees as much as a serious role.

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

Whatever you are good at, do it, but don't be over exposed.

I would love to direct films and it's certainly on the cards.

I always got appreciation for the columns I wrote for newspapers.

When faced with exceptional circumstances, people react differently.

My mother, Dr Nalini Dutta. She was and will always be my everything.

People should learn more about Malala and about her life in Pakistan.

When I joined films, I was a bit plump but then I lost a lot of weight.

I am lucky to have the freedom to do a variety of roles. I feel blessed.

I really relish dal chawal but my all-time favourite is Tandoori Chicken.

I wrote 'Me and Ma' to celebrate a beautiful phase of my life with people.

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

Audience will get bored if just one kind of films will continue to get made.

I loved my roles in 'Veer-Zaara,' 'Train To Pakistan' and 'Shaheed-e-Mohabbat.'

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

I had grown up fantasising of being Yash Chopra's heroine because I have loved his films.

Veer Zaara' changed people's outlook towards me. It was my first so-called commercial film.

When we are busy with the everyday bhag-daud, one fine day a health scare just stops it all.

It feels good to be featured in a film poster. I didn't have it in the beginning of my career.

I think Indian men prefer curves. But I believe that one should be fit enough to wear anything.

I once lost a role because I was told I am fair. They were looking for a village woman who is darker.

Doing comic roles is a great relief considering the power-packed roles that are usually offered to me.

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

After a three-month course in acting, I bagged my first film 'Suraksha' - opposite actor Suniel Shetty.

I think I always had an unconventional career because I didn't fit the mould of the conventional heroine.

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

I stick to a mix of cardio and yoga and go for healthy food. I don't believe in starving to get into shape.

I've been writing articles for newspapers and magazines. And writing is a very beautiful way of expression.

People usually start off on a high note in their careers and then wane off and then restart with a comeback.

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

It's always a pleasant experience while acting because I like to surprise myself and the audience with what I do.

I believe fitness is all about feeling healthy inside out. I think it's very important to be mentally fit as well.

Love with writing began from school days itself and with passage of time my bond with it went on becoming stronger.

As a kid I used to wear my mother's dupattas and saris and emulate Hema Maliniji or Rekhaji in front of the mirror.

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 primarily look at how a role is laid out by the director. I take into consideration my co-stars, before signing a role.

I would see Shah Rukh in most romantic films. I would see him in 'Notting Hill' and 'Pretty Woman.' He is the king of romance.

I don't possess a filmi temperament. I do feel sometimes that it is not my cup of tea. So I stick to people who I vibe with mentally.

Besides going to new restaurants, I like to eat home-cooked food made by my mom and sometimes I enjoy Mumbai's local street food also.
