Interview excerpts

“Personally I do not think that I am hot and sexy. I try not to disappoint the audiences who come to watch me in my film. To click in Bollywood, besides the fact that you have to have talent in an abundant measure, you should also have your own appeal. You should have something special. Every actress has her own plus point to woo the audiences.”

“My basic food habits are non-oily and non-spicy food. I try and work out as much as possible, but that’s not always possible. I drink as much water as possible, that’s still the best therapy!”

“It becomes easier to handle controversies when you are a part of the film industry. I just take them with a smile.”

“Indian cinema has a bright future. The movie goers will soon shift to offbeat from commercial cinema. At present, there are hardly ten or fifteen persons in theaters watching offbeat movies. Hopefully, the scenario will change fast.”

“I do not like controversies though fortunately or unfortunately, controversy has become my middle name in the industry, whether I want it or not. I agree to dance to a number only after I listen to it and I am convinced that it is catchy, foot -tapping and easy to the ear.”
