I need a combination of attitude, sensuality, and vulnerability. I need a new kind of heroine. After Bipasha Basu and Sunny Leone, India now needs an even more unique fantasy figure.
I am addicted to watching cookery shows.
I did 'Daddy' when I was 17 years old. My father, Mahesh Bhatt, directed the movie, and he cast me.
My grandmother, Betty Bertha Bright, lived in the Armenian block in Kolkata. After '36 Chowringhee Lane,' we haven't seen that part of the city in films.
The constant craze of size zero and crash diets is not very good.
There is no denying the fact that we live in a patriarchal society, and Bollywood is a patriarchal industry for sure. And it is not too fond of women with opinions.
We have German Shepherds, gifted by a friend, and the rest are street dogs we have adopted.
There are no bad actors. There are only bad directors who cannot make their actors act.
I don't believe that a piece of paper can decide your relationship status.
I enjoy just being a producer and a home maker. I love being in charge. I love being the tortured and tormented soul. I am a Piscean. I enjoy the real-life drama fully.
I have seen this whole process of films releasing, becoming hits or flops, for too long now to expect things to do well.

I want to bust the stigma attached to alcoholism in our country. Women particularly are discouraged from seeking help because it's a matter of shame for the family. We don't share our pain or frailties; we cover our weaknesses, and it becomes a cancer.
I enjoy production more than acting, as one is involved in many aspects of film-making.
I am grateful to all the ups and downs in my life.
Some people don't have the luxury to see a future without the man, as they are dependent on him. That's because they put their education or priorities aside to be mothers or wives to somebody.
What supermarkets did to small neighbourhood shops is what digital platforms will do to cinema.
I love my flops. Look at my life: my failure that broke my heart made me stronger.
No one is immortal. Don't worry too much about your life. Just sing your song... and go.
If you are not willing to be a lone wolf, keep your truth to yourself. If you want acceptance and your truths to be spoken, it is a slippery slope.
Ninety per cent of the crew that work with me are there since my childhood and which is why I do not want to work too much outside - because the people I work with are as important for me as my role.
