People are dying to get a National Award... it's a national reputation.

Filmmaking is a gamble.

Spirituality is a great bent of mind. It gives peace and hope to me.

Shashi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan were good dancers.

It's not that people will vote for me only because I am a Bollywood star.

People assume that they will retire at 60 and die when they are 70. If you can think positive, live a healthy life, listen to your body and follow a regime, then you can live for 100 years, healthy and happy.

I just want my daughters and their families to be happy.

1 crore is not a small amount. I would never ask for such an amount without knowing the role.

I am still attached to my wedding sari and preserve it with care. There are so many little things I have kept as loving mementos of my father and mother.

I was never the kind to throw parties for my birthday. I remember how embarrassed I used to be when they'd make me cut a cake on the sets, and the unit would sing 'Happy Birthday.'

I did a number of films with Amitabh. He was a wonderful costar - totally different from others.

'Sholay' can and should never be remade. It is a classic, just like 'Mughal-e-Azam.' The magic which the movie created at that time cannot be repeated.

I want to impart my dance, my music: I want to make an institute and teach children.

Yes, I used to miss my childhood, but I did get a chance to relive it through Esha and Ahaana.

Money and other tangibles will come and go; they shouldn't be the foundation of your marriage.

I don't have any high aims or goals, but I hope to continue my journey of multi-tasking as I have been doing so far as an actor, dancer, and also serving people of the nation.

Pure dance form is not dying.

When my mother was around, she would insist on celebrating my birthdays.

When I was at the top, my mother was helping other girls. I thought it was a beautiful gesture and that I should continue it in her name.

In my constituency, everyone loves Modiji, and it will convert into votes.

Among my classical dances, I loved my 'Mrig Trishna' dance. People should try that on stage. I don't know why they don't. It's beautifully written.

Anybody cannot be a dancer. A dancer must have a certain posture, gestures, height, behaviour.

I would even love to do a Bengali film if a good offer is made to me.

With time, everything changes, and there is nothing wrong in that.
