Films cannot change anybody's life. That's a load of crap.

There was always a conscious effort on my part to do different cinema. It's taken time for the directors to accept me.

If I had to do it all over again, I would still get married at 16.

I don't want to push myself and am happy doing one to two films a year.

I never thought I would get a National Award. For me, it was huge, and I got complacent.

I think all my life's story is condensed in my face. It is neither innocent nor coy. It speaks volumes.

There is no role that I look forward to.

I have done enough, and I am not dissatisfied with the body of work that I have done.

Nobody knows the man behind Rajesh Khanna, because that never existed. In his last few days, he had told me, 'Pack up, show is over.'

I was 16 when I got married, and I must say he was not a normal man but a very special man. There are so many things I want to say about him, but one thing which strikes me is that he had a DNA of a superstar.

There aren't enough good scripts.

I have never struggled, and I have never done anything.

The biggest high for me was to marry Rajesh Khanna. That was a high, and I don't think my success was as much of a high as getting married to this superstar. I used to be a big fan of his; it was dream come true.

God has been very kind to me.

We used to take two years to complete a film, and sometimes, we used to be told on the sets that the scenes are still being written. Everything today is pre-planned.

Akshay Kumar is more than a son to me. What I love about him is that there is never a dull moment with him. He is always up to some nonsense.

I am a very lazy person.

It takes me some time to get into what I am doing - since I am not a trained actor, I don't have that skill. I have to think of what I am doing and how it comes through.

I have had so many gaps that I have not been consistently working, and the thing is that you get better with more work.

Hindi cinema hasn't moved at all in terms of roles for actresses beyond 18 years.

I haven't been a prototype mother.

Direction or even production doesn't fascinate me at all.

I just love candles... the colour, the glow, the light.

I find it very boring to keep on talking about myself! Which is why I find giving interviews also very boring.
