I let my work speak for me.

I have stood on my own feet.

I feel bad when my film flops.

I'm fed up of doing run-of-the-mill stuff.

My policy in life is to live and let live.

I never did my eyebrows in most of my early films.

Anywhere which is in a forest, that's my zen place.

I eat on time and am strictly against oily and fried foods.

People fall in love when they are working together constantly.

The response to my role in 'Aks' has been more than I expected.

'Slumdog Millionaire' has truly opened newer avenues for India.

To me, looking glamorous on screen has never been about skin show.

What you eat shows on your skin. So have fresh fruits and vegetable juices.

People will love or hate 'Satta' and 'Stumped.' But they cannot ignore them.

I am a huge Kishore Kumar fan. What can I say? The man was born to entertain!

I'm hoping to reach a point when I can play all kinds of roles with equal ease.

When I began my career, I had films with the biggest film-makers in the country.

When will the world start believing that the biggest religion of all is humanity?

I do believe men and women can share healthy, long-lasting platonic relationships.

I am proud to say that our industry is making films like 'PINK,' 'Maatr,' and 'Mom.'

You are the best lessons you learn from life. I have grown up learning from my life.

I'm the kind who is never happy. No matter what it is, I always find room for improvement.

There is a world and life beyond films. My charity work keeps me in touch with that world.

Computers used to petrify me before I figured it was just a matter of getting used to them.

I get many scripts and films, but I refuse most of them because I have done such roles before.

There are some people in this world who always turn and twist the spoken word out of proportion.

I prefer to eat home-made food which involves grilled chicken or steamed fish and lots of greens.

I have been to Kargil, and I have seen the tragedy that both the Indians and the Pakistanis faced.

Wearing shoes, clothes, and other accessories made out of exotic skin is as cold-blooded as it gets.

The purpose of an actress is not to just look beautiful and strut around like a peacock but act, too.

Whenever I'm traveling, I see so many auto drivers spitting on the road, and it disgusts me to no end.

Communication is extremely important in any relationship - it makes the relationship that much healthier.

There is nothing - nothing - that beats being in the jungles. It's so easy to just sit and meditate there.

A female celebrity just has to chat and smile with a guy for him to become the new man in her life. Amazing.

Go organic in whatever you can, whether it is organic make-up or food. It's important to keep your body healthy.

Our forests offer much more than just beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Each one has a different story to tell.

When I see people scratching and clawing towards ambition and greed, I wonder why they are doing it and for what.

When I was in my college, I remember travelling by buses to tutions, and I have travelled by local trains as well.

The fact is many of these guys whom I was supposed to be seeing are my buddies. I've always been the bum chum kinda girl.

In 'Maatr,' we do not justify taking the law into our hands. That's not the right thing to do. We are not promoting that.

Your skin and your face is a mirror to your soul. When people ask me why I'm looking so good, I reply, 'My heart is happy.'

I am emotional, honest, and sensitive and a great human being because of my dad. Tough and independent woman because of my mom.

I've done the glamour doll, song-and-dance routine, the works. I've reached a stage in my career where I'm ready to experiment.

You have to respect the existence of God. If He has given you the power to throw your weight around, then you mustn't misuse it.

Crimes against women are growing day by day. Despite this, the mindset of our leaders, politicians, or judicial system is not changing.

I really don't think I will do the dancing type of movies with 'jhatka-matkas' any more. Every actor goes through a phase, and so did I.

When I am depressed, I watch these three films: 'Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi,' 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron,' and 'Padosan.' They really make me laugh.

I suppose it is easy for an actress to act maternal at any age, since all women have a nurturing instinct after 20, perhaps even earlier.

I was, at one point of time, known as the mast-mast girl, and though I must admit it's something I had no qualms with, I've moved on now.

It's overwhelming and humbling to be the recipient of a National Award, and I only hope to find scripts now that will solidify that honor.
