Acting is my passion but everyone was against it. But mom insisted that her daughter would do what she wanted, no matter how brilliant a student she was.

I primarily look at how a role is laid out by the director. I take into consideration my co-stars, before signing a role.

When something wrong happens in your life and you read someone else's story in the magazine, you definitely get inspired that if she can do it, then I can also do it.

I take pride in saying that I'm not the usual Hindi film actor who's on the top of her game for 4-5 years, then sees a slump, gets married, has kids and then makes a comeback in senior kind of roles.

It is nice to be social and have lots of friends. We need all that warmth and love. But at the end of the day, you need that one person to rely on and that should only be you.

I really relish dal chawal but my all-time favourite is Tandoori Chicken.

You can't judge people for favouring somebody. That happens in every field.

Theatre has always been at the back of my mind but somehow I never got around to doing it.

I always wanted to wear those chiffon saris and work in Yash Chopra films.

I think we all need to take personal responsibility, and take action when we see anything wrong around us. I do that, when I see any man harassing any woman. I go and stop that, even if they are actors.
