As you grow older, maturity naturally comes to you. And it shows on your face. It's true not only about looks, but your maturity should also reflect in your performances.
As long as I don't look down upon any characters, that's fine. The moment I do that - the moment I think I'm superior or that others are inferior - I'm finished as an artist and as a human being.
I have been trolled for my name, my marriage, my religion, even for my mother.
I never considered politics as an option, not ever.
I haven't necessarily joined politics to become a leader but because it was the need of the time.
Some people say heroines just have to look good and provide the glamour. Some say, from dance-n-song routines, heroines have come a long way. Today, the heroine's name adds weight to the film, though maybe they can't carry the whole film on their names. I believe, yes, we do contribute a lot to films.
The first lesson of politics or, at least, democracy is that it is a government by the people and for the people, isn't it? What makes the person a big leader or a big name is only what the person has done for the people.
I have always tried to make life interesting for myself by doing different roles that connect mainstream cinema with its offbeat counterpart.
I guess I have been daring and lucky with my roles.
I am an actress, period.
I want to do every kind of role with a reasonable amount of panache. I want to be a fair combination of style and substance.
Media generally likes to generalise things, as it makes their life easy.
For me, politics is giving your word, standing by it, and abiding by it no matter what.
Nobody can link the success of a movie with a particular artiste.
I would like to do films where I will be remembered after people leave the theatres.
If an artiste has the conviction to carry something off, he or she can do anything.
Glamour is a very small aspect of being an actress.
To me, sex appeal means that when an actress is on the screen, she just engulfs the whole screen.
An artiste's input, her ability to create dimensions within the given space is very important.
I don't think there is anyone who cannot relate to music.
