I am a living contradiction.

Expect the unexpected from me!

Creative instinct is personal.

I really wish I were a superhero.

I am not a person who will mince words.

You cannot predict how well a film will do.

I believe that change is the essence of life.

Television is about identifying with the characters.

The beauty about history is that it's open to perception.

I have always wanted to outdo myself, be it films or shows.

I'm my dad's biggest fan and, yes, sometimes his worst critic.

I love telling stories, I love entertaining, and I love my job.

I feel whenever my shows are too hyped, they usually don't work.

All my shows airing on different channels have been the top shows.

I've always said time and time again that I hate anything conventional.

TV is very mass, especially now that boxes are shifting to small towns.

I can't create magic, where all my serials will have the highest ratings.

Everyone believes or perceives me to be a ruthless cynic, but far from it.

I'm in competition only with myself, and I always want to push the envelope.

I love the streets of Kolkata, and I admire the old architectural buildings.

There was a time I'd sing and dance at night clubs, but now I don't do that.

I love 'Koi Aane Ko Hai.' It is my favourite show because I believe in this genre.

As a producer or even as a basic seller, you need to be confident about your product.

I started working at a time when most of my friends were still figuring their lives out.

People are always trying to figure me out, given the varied nature of my films and shows.

I've been able to chart out my professional life. But I can never chart out my personal one.

To survive in a creative economy, you need basic instinct! You have to know and smell your viewer.

As a producer, I am dying to explore psychology and urban dilemmas - say, fatigue - in a marriage.

I don't think 'Jurassic Park' could have been so much fun had Spielberg not made a 'Schindler's List.'

I have full confidence that the Sequel Queen is a tag that's going to stick... And I will be loving it!

My holidays are generally impromptu, since a crazy work schedule is bound to eat into a long-planned trip.

I've never had a problem with criticism. Whether films or television, I've lived with it and emerged stronger.

I cannot stop gushing over the reviews that 'The Dirty Picture' has garnered. I'm glad that people are loving it.

Though personally I'm not a fan of celebrating with fireworks, it is beautiful to watch the sight from a distance.

I'm just a simple television and film producer who started off from her garage and whose only idea was to tell a story.

Contrary to what everyone thinks, I'm not superstitious - I'm spiritual. And there is a huge difference between the two.

I would describe myself as eclectic: Bohemian in thought and conservative in action - or maybe it's the other way around.

I am bad mannered, naughty, and one of those few people who lands up in controversies, but I guess that's expected of me.

If you depict one home and the drama moving around one family, people love it because the characters become identifiable.

The reason for certain shows not doing well or as per expectations is that they were not aired on not so popular channels.

Passion keeps me going. I love my work. The need to come back, no matter what, and my passion towards my work keeps me going.

I've always had this fear in me. What would life be like if I wasn't Number 1 on television? But I've learnt to overcome that fear.

I am an entrepreneur, but not in the conventional sense. I have learnt business as time passed, but I do not have a B-school education.

When I made TV shows, people called them regressive. Clearly, everyone wants to generalize everything, but I like to choose a middle path.

I've grown up watching 'Mawaali,' 'Himmatwalla,' and my love for masala movies started from there, and ever since, there's no looking back.

I'm told Jodha was someone whose eyes conveyed humility, simplicity, courage, and conviction. Paridhi embodies everything I had in mind for Jodha.

I don't think hype always works. It can get you initial audience, but eventually, it's your story, and the characters need to hold audience's attention.

I remember, as a kid, when any woman/girl came close to my dad to get his autograph, I would throw a complete tantrum - yell shout and sometimes even fight!

My father came from a chawl and became a top star in Bollywood and worked very hard for us. When I look at my dad, I feel very good that my papa did so much.

We have to stop using words like 'that time of the month' or other such variations. Say it: I have my periods. There is nothing to be shy or embarrassed about.
