Look at 'Dulhe Raja.' It was a film made very quietly on the sidelines, and suddenly, when the film was released, it struck gold. I never expected the film to do well.
I was, at one point of time, known as the mast-mast girl, and though I must admit it's something I had no qualms with, I've moved on now.
A female celebrity just has to chat and smile with a guy for him to become the new man in her life. Amazing.
Being an actor, your focus is just on your craft and how to make it better, but production is a much bigger task - putting everything together.
There is a right time for everything. There was a time when I wanted to settle down and have a family. I wanted to give time to my kids. I had worked for nearly 19 years when I got married.
It's overwhelming and humbling to be the recipient of a National Award, and I only hope to find scripts now that will solidify that honor.

Whenever I'm traveling, I see so many auto drivers spitting on the road, and it disgusts me to no end.

I've done the glamour doll, song-and-dance routine, the works. I've reached a stage in my career where I'm ready to experiment.
I really don't think I will do the dancing type of movies with 'jhatka-matkas' any more. Every actor goes through a phase, and so did I.
I am not a foodie; I eat to live.
One of my favorite outfits is one I picked up on a trip to Chandigarh. I've worn it once and am skeptical about wearing it again in spite of loving it so much, thanks to the 'fashion police' who won't wait a second to splash it out in the papers or feature me in the 'same to same' blog.
Why do our kids need to be protected from flu? Isn't that something only for the cold western countries who have long, cold, below-zero winters?
