Because you are women, people will force their thinking on you, their boundaries on you. They will tell you how to dress, how to behave, who you can meet and where you can go. Don't live in the shadows of people's judgement. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom.
'No' is an entire sentence in itself. No means no, and when somebody says it, you need to stop.
I like to feel the butterflies in the stomach, I like to go home and have a restless night and wonder how I'm going to be able to accomplish this feat, get jittery. That hunger and those butterflies in the stomach are very essential for all creative people.
Life is a blur when one is essaying different roles; it is so fulfilling.

I would like to believe that I still am a shy person; I am very introverted. I have a problem communicating.

I don't spend much time looking back at what happened. I do remember it, but I don't see any purpose of wanting to look back.
No new projects at the moment. There are restrictions to how much I can take on. And I need to finish those that I am committed to do before thinking ahead. But I'd rather they take final shape before we talk of them.
I was born in fame. I was always recognised and known. Personally, I feel normal about it.

When I wrote my first blog, I got one response. Now, I sometimes get as many as 400 responses for my posts.
I like to rate myself as a performer upfront, both in films as well as in television.
There are many things that I feel I have missed out on.

I have never really been confident about my career at any stage.
I just lead my life as naturally, as normally as I possibly can. But I can't help it if controversy is hounding me day in and day out. I'm quite amazed sometimes by the way they go about it. I grow a beard and it lands up in the editorial in The Times of India.
I sometimes lament the fact that I do not have the benefit of a complete and ailment free body structure.
As a professional, I cannot afford to be complacent.
