We should value what we have and not take it for granted.

If I am exhausted, I will pamper myself, take an extra nap, eat well, take a spa treatment.

I had kept notes during my cancer treatment, but I wasn't sure what my outcome was going to be. A part of me wasn't sure if I would make it into a book. If it was going to be morbid, I wouldn't want to tell it.

Being diagnosed with cancer helped me identify all that was wrong in my life. It also helped me search for the solutions. I discovered self-love; I learned to prioritise myself over others and, most importantly, realised that I had to love myself first before somebody else loves me.

Cancer definitely rekindled my spirit. It made me realise that every human being has the capacity to overcome a huge setback.

I am keen to do roles that are down-to-earth, appealing, and sensitive.

It was a wonderful experience acting with Prasenjit Chatterjee, the reigning king of Kolkata's film industry.

I am a great fan of Rituparno's films and have always nurtured a wish of acting in his films. I was very impressed with his 'Chokher Bali,' 'Bariwali,' and 'Raincoat.'

I am a foodie, but my antennas are always up regarding the healthy and nutritional values of food.

After being diagnosed with cancer, one is in a lot of fear and anxiety about the anticipated pain and the painful treatment.

Looks matter a lot, and it has always mattered. We always judge. I have not only been on the receiving end, but I have also judged others.

When you're sick, you actually realize how important health is.

When you have a good director, everything is taken care of.

We need to live our truth. We need to discover ourselves. And no matter how much you prepare for everything, life will always find a way to surprise you.

In the film industry, we work more on the basis of good faith and verbal commitments rather than legalities.

Whether I live long or short is not the question: what quality that I surrounded myself is!

I'm extremely unhappy with the projection of 'Tum' as a hot film. It's demeaning not just to me but to the producer and director.

Truth of life is that in difficult times, my family was my backbone.

I think 'Ek Chhotisi Love Story' has really damaged me. People think they can compromise my reputation and get away with it.

I love working with the younger generation.

One of the many joys of being an actor is to understand the human psychology.

I don't believe in harbouring ill feelings about anyone.

If you build your immune system, eat right, God knows how long you are going to live!

I feel somewhere there is a fault in this whole mindset of not accepting the natural process. To age gracefully, to accept life with grace has more beauty and charm. But you have to be fit and healthy. And that is something we should strive for.
