I cannot write a novel because I cannot work in continuity. My works are more abstract, may be, I will try short story writing.

I feel that if you are a creative person, you choose various mediums to give vent to your ideas.

One doesn't have to be an activist and start a movement.

I have enough make-up to last me five lifetimes.

I get bored of training easily. I constantly need something to invigorate me, which will get me to hit the gym.

My personal style is classic. So a classic element will always find its way into everything I wear.

I am so glad to have found a sister in Sonam Nair. She makes work such a joy.

Working with a female director has great perks.

When you are an actor you are a very small part of a very large scheme of things.

I have always wanted to make a movie, in fact I always wanted to direct someday. But I never thought I would be a producer.

I only want to be part of movies that I believe in and I have no regrets.

Failure at the box office of some of my earlier films led to a lack of opportunity to play main lead in good films.

I lost my biological father when I was 9, I lost my stepfather at 23. Both men had such a deep impact in my understanding of life.

My stepfather was an exemplary human being. It took me a lot of time to accept him as a parent. But what he did intelligently was he befriended me.

As a child, I remember seeing what a struggle it was for both my parents to accommodate and adjust to the idea of not being together. They cared for each other deeply; they loved each other. They just couldn't stay together because they wanted different things from life and sometimes, it happens.

People all over the globe love to see women in a sari. I always love to be draped in one as well.

I have always expressed my opinion fearlessly. To not express the truth is far more frightening.

It takes a lot of drive to succeed as an independent producer.

I have always believed that cinema is one of the greatest instruments of positive social change. Stories can be light, engaging and poignant, but they need to say something.

I look for gravitas and substance that can outlast the theatrical experience.

Every person has the ability to influence change. I am grateful that my voice counts, and I am able to influence change. But more than that, there is a certain amount of activism that is engrained in me.

Every child must have a childhood they deserve. But unfortunately, millions of children are deprived childhood and their dreams crushed under the burden of poverty.

If you are asking me whether I would want to have kids, I would say obviously I want them. It's only natural after a certain phase in life.

For any female actor, the age between 35 to 45 is treacherous. Filmmakers tell me, I am at that awkward age. No parts are written for women in this age bracket, while men at that age flourish and have great careers.
