Loneliness is always there, it's a phase that comes and goes and it is a very difficult phase.

I know people who've had dreams unrealised due to circumstances.

I used to tell myself that I am a good actor, I have a good body, I have a pretty face, have long hair, have a good soul, so if there is one thing I don't have, don't make a big issue of it.

My first car was a second-hand Padmini Standard that I bought for '25,000 in 1985. It was a lot of money for me. The Padmini Standard was one of those small cars which was very popular during that time. However, I never drove the car and still don't drive one.

I have found ways to kill this ever-present feeling of loneliness. I try a new dish and experiment with food, I'll clean my cupboard, do the little things in the house, and I keep myself busy. I find things to do.

If you don't have one thing, what's the big deal? Not everybody has everything.

The media had built my perception of being a strong woman because of my personal life. I wanted to play the damsel in distress, but I wasn't given an opportunity to explore that kind of a character.

I watch lots of American shows like 'Desperate Housewives' and so on.

I am very much aware that I am considered a 'strong woman.' And I am also aware that that is only because I had a child outside wedlock.

Doing theatre in Delhi didn't guarantee success in Mumbai.

Everything is destined, I believe... People you meet and end up marrying.

I made a few mistakes in the beginning of my career. I didn't have anybody to guide me. I didn't have a secretary. I didn't call up directors, or meet people asking for roles.

I'm not a strong woman at all. And I'm not a feminist. In fact, I'm very weak.
