I have found ways to kill this ever-present feeling of loneliness. I try a new dish and experiment with food, I'll clean my cupboard, do the little things in the house, and I keep myself busy. I find things to do.

I watch lots of American shows like 'Desperate Housewives' and so on.

Everything is destined, I believe... People you meet and end up marrying.

My upbringing saved me.

I know people who've had dreams unrealised due to circumstances.

Every child needs both parents.

My mother was very interested for me to become an IAS officer.

I want to try something on situational comedy.

I won't get a role if I say I want to do that. It depends on how saleable you're at that time.

My mother was a Gandhian and very strict.

You can't take me for granted!

It is close to impossible to find a man who can bear with a woman, who is a notch above or equal to him. Such men are still not there in this world. It is like we will always be facing trouble in our lives.

I simply love doing household chores and cooking.

If you do one big commercial film and it's a hit, everybody takes you for that particular kind of a role.

I used to tell myself that I am a good actor, I have a good body, I have a pretty face, have long hair, have a good soul, so if there is one thing I don't have, don't make a big issue of it.

I'm was a very shy person, a very shy person and couldn't go to people in my college. We used to do plays, and I would never get the main female role. I would always get a boys' role because it was a girls college and I was a little taller than other girls.

I used to not get work even on TV, but wherever I went, they'd treat me with respect but never offer work.

The more trauma and bad experiences you have, the more you are able to laugh on yourself and the situation.

I've realised that nothing that happens is so grim that life can't go on. Life always goes on, no matter what. Even in the grimmest situation, I see hope.

I didn't do anything with the thought that I want to go against society or bend any rules.

I didn't want to get married to somebody just because I was ageing and wanted a child.

My profession is to change myself according to my role and I work hard on it.

I lost my mother to cancer, so once Masaba was born, my father moved from Old Delhi to live with me in Mumbai.

Who ever lives life on their own terms?
