Mahesh didn't want a working wife; he was clear about that. He wanted time given to him and, later, to the kids.
Interviews and public opinion about me never mattered. I know exactly who I am.
I do not want to do the regular heroine roles anymore. I am looking at working with good directors on interesting projects.
On some days, I just want to sit under a shooting umbrella in a sunny outdoor location all over again.
To be honest, I don't have much to do in 'Hathyar.' I won't call it a pivotal role.
I was never career-oriented, not in the way other heroines are. Of course, I took my work seriously. But I never solicited work and never sought fame or money.
I can never bring myself to watch Mahesh's films. It's way too stressful for me. All his family members are eager to attend and enjoy the previews of his films like normal people. But I sit at home chewing my nails, praying, wondering if this one will be as big as the previous one, and so on.
Motherhood is filled with magical little moments that bring you immense joy.
It is the director's vision, and as actors, we are just extensions of that.
Mahesh doesn't show his own anxieties when his films are up for release, but I become a nervous wreck.
I enjoy a good movie, no matter what the genre.
It's easy to fall in love, but it's a lot harder to sustain love.
I wouldn't do a lot of the things most actresses do, and that includes my sister.
I am more of the disciplinarian and the bad cop at home. Since Mahesh spoils our son, I have to balance it out.
I don't plan my life.
Mahesh is a hands-on father, though he does not have too much free time because of his work. But whenever we can, we take short breaks and vacations and spend time together.
Mahesh and I are very real, simple people.
Kids are the most beautiful beings that can come into your life.
People believe Mahesh does what I ask him to. That's not true. He may look shy and gentle, but he knows his mind.
Our son Gautam is very shy, just like his father.
