I've been influenced by my travels across India and the globe.

I take a keen interest in the architecture of places when I travel.

I had no patience for films. It was only after I met Shah Rukh that I learnt to enjoy his passion for cinema.

My life is with Shah Rukh and the kids. He is the best husband and father I could ever ask for.

I always say that I am so fortunate to be with Shah Rukh Khan, the man.

When headlines are only about Shah Rukh, I get upset. There is no value then to what I do. His achievements are his, and I have no part in them. I do what I do.

It may sound crazy to people, but I don't follow any spiritual leader or worship at any house of God. I just feel you should be good to people around you, your family and friends.

I think both husband and wife should have busy minds, not see too much of each other, but not too little either: just get it right. If both are healthy in their heads and satisfied with their day's work, the partnership works.

What people don't understand is that when I hear what somebody has said about me, I wonder, 'Don't you know what they are saying about you, too?' It's quite amusing.

When you're young, luxury often means being able to buy something you really want - a high end bag or a specific car.

Design should revolve around what the main purpose of the space is. If you plan to live there, it should reflect your personality.

Although I have a busy work schedule, I make sure I spend time with my family and create a balance between my work and family life.

Design is my biggest love. It consumes me!

Don't ask me how it feels to be a superstar's wife. It doesn't feel anything different. I can't keep on praising him all the time. That would be so boring.

Being in front of the camera is a lot of hard work, and I'm not cut out for it.

Shah Rukh is very talented with design, and he is extremely creative.

Designing comes easy and quickly to me. I don't need to spend hours to complete an X amount of work for me. I feel designing is in me.

My passion is to create and transform a small or a large space.

I pick and choose when I want to be in spotlight, which is only connected to my work and when I need to use the media.

I feel media is important when you are showcasing your work, as people need to know what you are doing.

I only take the positives, and I don't take the negatives.

Luxury and style have been key elements in all my projects.

I love to complement my Indian ensembles with neckpieces and earrings and cuffs.

It's important to match your style with the occasion.

Lighting is key for me for every project.

We have lots to learn in India when it comes to design, and that includes me! I'm constantly learning; that never stops.

Of course, design is a very personal thing: what I like, you may not like.

My personal style is very comfortable and feminine.

I adore saris. I feel they're very easy to carry. They're not only sexy and graceful, but you can also style them the way you like best.

While I'm really proactive when it comes to managing my projects, I am a shy person.

Shah Rukh is very supportive of my work. Not only him but my kids also support me. They do come to my store, look into every piece that I have designed and I am doing. They are very involved and totally support me.

Be it a movie premiere or an event, I personally prefer to wear a lot of saree. For me, they are very comfortable; I can carry them off.

I think when people spend all their time together is when trouble starts brewing.

I don't read everything written about me.

For me, it's beautiful when career and passion come together.

A design that I create is like my own extension. It's 'thinking made visible.'

I'm one of those designers who can be inspired by absolutely anything, anywhere in the world.

In the work I do, historical elements tend to merge with contemporary forms, such as photo printing on furniture or bold sari prints, to create something unique and memorable.

If you ask me about my chosen colour palette for the clothes I wear myself, I'm usually one for more neutral, subtle shades.

Too much clutter is a disturbance to the energy of a space for me. It's big no-no for me.

This is what I love doing. I am very easy with it. It comes instantly and quickly to me. And I don't need to spend hours designing... I could design on a beach or while travelling.

I would design for anybody who gives me a free hand and who doesn't sit on my head.

I love walking into an empty room and imagining what it could be.

Staying curious keeps me inspired.

I was an artist before I got into interiors.

I want to reiterate the fact that at the core of it all, I am a designer, a creator, and as a creative person, I will choose to be limitless in the extension models of my various ideas on design.

I believe a person who designs for the sheer passion of creativity can do so across media - it is like any other form of art.

When I came to Mumbai, it was very difficult. I enjoyed every bit of it, but it was so new, and life was very different - new people and new home.

I think I was smart to marry him. I think that's my smartness, that I chose the right guy.

People go through so much in life - financially, physically, mentally, and emotionally. So I don't look at the ups and downs as anything but a negligible area.
