You have to respect the existence of God. If He has given you the power to throw your weight around, then you mustn't misuse it.
Raveena Tandon
I'm a God-fearing person.
Computers used to petrify me before I figured it was just a matter of getting used to them.
A friend of mine created an email ID for me, and I was completely hooked soon after. I would mail friends constantly and lug my laptop everywhere just to listen to some music.
You are the best lessons you learn from life. I have grown up learning from my life.
There is a world and life beyond films. My charity work keeps me in touch with that world.
When I see people scratching and clawing towards ambition and greed, I wonder why they are doing it and for what.
I believe you must enjoy the life that God has given you. Cherish it, because it is all you have. You could be here right now, and in two seconds, you could be gone.
Crimes against women are growing day by day. Despite this, the mindset of our leaders, politicians, or judicial system is not changing.
As women, we need to give the right upbringing to our sons so that they respect, protect, and help the weaker sex instead of bullying them.
I am proud to say that our industry is making films like 'PINK,' 'Maatr,' and 'Mom.'
I get many scripts and films, but I refuse most of them because I have done such roles before.
I'm a survivor.
Throughout school, I've faced ridicule and been complexed about my appearance. I almost turned into a nervous wreck. Peer pressure is bad. Children can be really cruel. Specially if you're not like everyone else.
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.
My dad taught me very early in life that whenever a child learns to walk, he falls a lot of times, but then he picks himself up and learns to walk like a man, and that is something which is a motto in life as well. You gotta pick yourself up, and you gotta walk, and you gotta walk strong.
'Slumdog Millionaire' has truly opened newer avenues for India.
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.
I always believe that one should be able to deal with any situations.
When I was in my college, I remember travelling by buses to tutions, and I have travelled by local trains as well.
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.
What is the obsession with not repeating clothes or making appearances that have been similar to the one's we've made in the past? Why is the fashion police so intense? What do they expect from us? What kind of pressure is this?
We have so much poverty in our country. Not every parent can afford to buy their kids all the frills and perks, but teenagers still demand it, and are we responsible for it!
If I had all the time in the world to waste, I'd really love to see what the members of the so-called-fashion-police sport. Do they not repeat their clothes, shoes, bags?
My policy in life is to live and let live.
I am a huge Kishore Kumar fan. What can I say? The man was born to entertain!
Acting is in my blood.
The purpose of an actress is not to just look beautiful and strut around like a peacock but act, too.
An actress who has worked most of her life is suddenly expected to slow down and her work taken away from her completely after marriage.
One has to evolve with age, and that's what I am doing.
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? That's what I thought until I learnt that India's tropical weather facilitates circulation of viruses around the year, unlike the West, which sees a peak only during winter.
I eat on time and am strictly against oily and fried foods.
Rakshabandhan is one day in a year I always look forward to... As children, we used to get presents and money, and there would be a full line-up of rakhi brothers, but as I grew older, the excitement was lesser as the love grew deeper.
When will the world start believing that the biggest religion of all is humanity?
Wearing shoes, clothes, and other accessories made out of exotic skin is as cold-blooded as it gets.
Marriage should never become an adjustment or a compromise. Both the partners should be equally happy and willing to invest their love, care, and respect in the relationship - only then it works.
I've seen my parents' long and successful marriage. I have never seen them argue or fight with each other, and the reason behind that is, I think, is that they always communicated with each other.
Communication is extremely important in any relationship - it makes the relationship that much healthier.
I cannot pick one single forest to be a favourite, but I am in love with the Indian jungles - be it Madhumalai and Kabini in South India or Tadoba and Pench National Park in Maharashtra. The wildlife in Satpura and Corbett National Park can't be missed, either.
There is nothing - nothing - that beats being in the jungles. It's so easy to just sit and meditate there.
Our forests offer much more than just beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Each one has a different story to tell.
I was fat and ugly. In school, I was disgustingly obese. I used to be the butt of ridicule, and that made me withdraw into a shell. It made me miserable, unsure of myself. I was far from confident.
Anywhere which is in a forest, that's my zen place.
I never did my eyebrows in most of my early films.
I'm hoping to reach a point when I can play all kinds of roles with equal ease.
I let my work speak for me.
I'm fed up of doing run-of-the-mill stuff.
Go organic in whatever you can, whether it is organic make-up or food. It's important to keep your body healthy.
I prefer to eat home-made food which involves grilled chicken or steamed fish and lots of greens.
I do believe men and women can share healthy, long-lasting platonic relationships.
