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

There is no better teacher than life itself.

I wish every international or national corporate would be given a rule to set up companies in rural areas, where they would have to provide hospitals, schools, low-cost housing and free medical care, training, and then employment - but not on agricultural land.

A female celebrity just has to chat and smile with a guy for him to become the new man in her life. Amazing.

One thing that really gets on my nerves is people spitting on the streets! I fail to understand whether they are just plain uncivilized or uninformed about how the act only helps in spreading diseases.

I am emotional, honest, and sensitive and a great human being because of my dad. Tough and independent woman because of my mom.

There are some people in this world who always turn and twist the spoken word out of proportion.

What you eat shows on your skin. So have fresh fruits and vegetable juices.

If Dubai could be built over mere sand and is one of the richest countries in the world today - why not make the most of the country we've been blessed with?

I'm on backslapping terms with everyone from Sanjay Dutt to Sanjay Kapoor. That's why wives never feel threatened by my presence in their husband's lives. They know if I'm their husband's friend, I'm the wife's buddy as well.

'Agnivarsha' is not a costume drama like Shashi Kapoor's 'Utsav' or Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Devdas.' This one has no elaborate jewellery and clothes. It is sparse and stark.

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 always said that to get India stronger, first strengthen its roots, and all our roots are our country's interiors, rural areas, and villages.

I especially have very fond memories associated with the 10th day of Dassera. My friends and I would meet up and build this huge 7-feet-tall Ravan, which we'd burn at around sunset in our colony. And this was no ordinary Ravan. We'd actually sit and hand-mix the contents of glue and glitter with the dough and wrap it around newspaper for the base.

Brother-sister love is the purest form of emotional love, like parents' love for their children. In school and college, brothers are there to protect us from all harm. It's an unconditional love.

I do believe men and women can share healthy, long-lasting platonic relationships.

I prefer to eat home-made food which involves grilled chicken or steamed fish and lots of greens.

Go organic in whatever you can, whether it is organic make-up or food. It's important to keep your body healthy.

I'm fed up of doing run-of-the-mill stuff.

I let my work speak for me.

I'm hoping to reach a point when I can play all kinds of roles with equal ease.

I never did my eyebrows in most of my early films.

Anywhere which is in a forest, that's my zen place.

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.
