Our forests offer much more than just beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Each one has a different story to tell.
Anywhere which is in a forest, that's my zen place.
I was fat and ugly. In school, I was disgustingly obese. I used to be the butt of ridicule, and that made me withdraw into a shell. It made me miserable, unsure of myself. I was far from confident.
I prefer to eat home-made food which involves grilled chicken or steamed fish and lots of greens.
I wish every international or national corporate would be given a rule to set up companies in rural areas, where they would have to provide hospitals, schools, low-cost housing and free medical care, training, and then employment - but not on agricultural land.
I let my work speak for me.
I'm fed up of doing run-of-the-mill stuff.
If Dubai could be built over mere sand and is one of the richest countries in the world today - why not make the most of the country we've been blessed with?
I am not a foodie; I eat to live.
It's overwhelming and humbling to be the recipient of a National Award, and I only hope to find scripts now that will solidify that honor.
I still remember the way children used to tease me. Fat people are really lonely people. In school, girls would be my friends, but guys would generally keep away. A lot of insecurity stems from there. But if you have a strong base, nothing can shake you.
There is a right time for everything. There was a time when I wanted to settle down and have a family. I wanted to give time to my kids. I had worked for nearly 19 years when I got married.
One thing that really gets on my nerves is people spitting on the streets! I fail to understand whether they are just plain uncivilized or uninformed about how the act only helps in spreading diseases.
To me, looking glamorous on screen has never been about skin show.
Whenever I'm traveling, I see so many auto drivers spitting on the road, and it disgusts me to no end.
Look at 'Dulhe Raja.' It was a film made very quietly on the sidelines, and suddenly, when the film was released, it struck gold. I never expected the film to do well.
I suppose it is easy for an actress to act maternal at any age, since all women have a nurturing instinct after 20, perhaps even earlier.
Brother-sister love is the purest form of emotional love, like parents' love for their children. In school and college, brothers are there to protect us from all harm. It's an unconditional love.
I was this roly-poly kid at school.
A female celebrity just has to chat and smile with a guy for him to become the new man in her life. Amazing.
