My father Kamran Khan was a successful producer, director and actor in B-grade films.
Adopting a pet is like taking the responsibility of a baby.
One of my favourite scenes ever is in Mr India - when the kids are hungry and Sridevi comes with the pastries etc, and they become friends. It's impossible not to get teary-eyed.
I don't smoke, drink, do drugs or even have affairs. If I don't even swear, I should be put in a shrine and sanctified.
Everyone has flaws. We are only human after all. But what's important is, we don't let our flaws stand in the way of what we can achieve.
IVF is a wonderful thing. One has to ignore the injections as the reality is that nobody is going to invent a pill that you can take to get a baby.
When I see a lot of the big Hollywood movies, I see they are all financed by Indian studios.
I had babies at the age of 43 because sometimes you get so caught up, you are making your life, building your career and may be you don't want to get married.
The stars that I've worked with started their careers almost at the same time as me. Whether it is Shah Rukh Khan or Aamir Khan or Salman Khan.
I am a hands-on mother, so I take long gaps between films.
I see people every day who think they're the be all and end all of the industry. I've seen so many people come and go, but the industry doesn't revolve around one person.
I don't socialise. My social life is minus zero.
It is really a sad state of affairs if I am still the only commercially successful woman director. We need a lot more commercially viable women, not only in direction.
Shah Rukh is always experimental with his role as an actor. He is the same actor who did a film like 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa,' 'Asoka,' 'Chak De! India' and 'Swades' and other so-called commercially successful films.
When TV came, people said who will go to theatres to watch movies? When the Internet came, they said the same. And now it's the digital media... The doomsday predictions are always there but I don't think people will stop going to cinema halls because that is one experience you can't get at home.
Cinema, art and culture should definitely be shared. These things transcend borders.
The problem with people is that no matter how good you are at what you do, it's never enough for them. There will always be someone to point out some flaw. Someone will always find something lacking in you.
I was chosen over British and French choreographers to work on 'Bombay Dreams.'
I had to let go of many things because we did not have much money growing up. Like joining the Film Institute in Pune or learning the piano.
Giving birth to triplets at the age of forty-three is no walk in the park, but I had little choice. I got married at the young age of forty, and both my husband, Shirish, and I were keen to start a family soon.
