I come from a well-educated and cultured, middle-class Maharashtrian family and have been brought up with social awareness.
A man who does not approach me because of my screen image or is intimidated by me is probably not being worth approached by.
Dance is my passion, and I feel so strongly about it that just watching people dance lights up my face and makes me come alive.
I've always been proud of being a Marathi mulgi, but just because I don't keep harping about it doesn't mean I do not bother about my Marathi people.
There's so much to do in life, and hopefully I will do it all.
Being a star means doing the kind of work you want to do.
I could have earned lots of crores by doing hundreds of more 'Rangeela' that came my way.
As stars, we need to take risks, and I was up for those challenges.
I took risks, and I did pay a price for it. I was made to answer because a 'Kaun' can't do business like a popcorn entertainer or a romantic film would do.
I am completely in love with what I do.
Taking care of a border security is one of the issues that government has to manage. It is not to be politicised to win votes and gain sympathy.
I have stuck my neck out to stand with a party whose ideologies are closest to mine.
In our own country, you can't divide people.
My husband is as much a proud Muslim as I am a proud Hindu. That's the beauty of our nation - and our marriage, too.
My life has been inspired by Mahatma Gandhi from the days of my childhood.
I always thought that marriage needs to happen at the right time, for the right reasons, and with the right person.
I'm a very open-minded person.
We don't celebrate birthdays in our family; the money was always given towards social causes.
I have tried to generate hope and trust as a person.
A person is big if his work is big.
