For me fitness is not about fighting fat or aiming thinness, it is about having the stamina and physical energy to keep up with my professional demands and day to day requirements of life.
I like watching Bengali film DVDs with sub-titles.
According to me, the most stylish person in Bollywood is none other than Sushmita Sen. I have grown up in awe of her since I was in school.
Life surprises you. It happens to the best of actors, we have good and bad phases.
Kareena Kapoor is a rare film star.
When I debut on television with 'Meri Awaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai,' there were a lot of things that I experienced as an actor and felt that one could get into more nuances in terms of characterization. At the end of it, I wept non-stop for 15 minutes to get out of that character. It was that kind of emotional bond.
I have refused to do plenty of films since there are some scenes that I am not comfortable doing on screen.
Before I go to bed I clean my face with a cleansing milk and cotton pads and then wash my face thoroughly with a foamy face wash. I apply a calamine lotion on my face and a medicated moisturizer on my face and neck. I repeat the same procedure after I wake up in the morning.
Innocence has died in Bollywood.
I have always been very choosy. I am very particular about banners and filmmakers. Everything has to be top-of-the-line; I have never compromised on that.
It feels great to be on the same pedestal as Madhuri Dixit.
It is unintentional that I will do less films, it just happened that way. Like in 2000, I had a line of films signed but it all went for a toss. The films never got made... It just happens.
'Welcome...' was a challenging role for me. Be it the look or the dialect, every bit of it was new and exciting.
It was work as well as play while shooting for 'Ishq Vishq' in South Africa. What made the trip more enjoyable was our energetic and fun-loving director Ken Ghosh, who hung out with the cast a lot.
If 'Satyagrah' was supposed to be my last film I would look back and say it was a happy portfolio. But there is a feeling that I wish I could have done something better.
Well, I was never a 'gadget girl.' But in the last few years, the Blackberry and the iPad have changed my life or rather have become a part of my life.
I prefer to be liberal and non-judgmental, which helps me reaching out to the people in a better way.
Since my childhood, I was that girl who would walk into a movie hall starry-eyed having this hunch that I will be there and can do this though I did not have the guts to share my feeling with my parents.
There was a time when the industry would typecast actors. It still continues to an extent on the celluloid but with the digital medium coming to the fore, the actors are finding equal status with the stars.
With a production house like Padmalya Films and a co-star like Mahesh Babu, 'Atithi' was just the right film to debut with.
