Our forests offer much more than just beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Each one has a different story to tell.

There is nothing - nothing - that beats being in the jungles. It's so easy to just sit and meditate there.

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.

Communication is extremely important in any relationship - it makes the relationship that much healthier.

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.

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.

Wearing shoes, clothes, and other accessories made out of exotic skin is as cold-blooded as it gets.

When will the world start believing that the biggest religion of all is humanity?

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.

I eat on time and am strictly against oily and fried foods.

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.

One has to evolve with age, and that's what I am doing.

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.

The purpose of an actress is not to just look beautiful and strut around like a peacock but act, too.

Acting is in my blood.

I am a huge Kishore Kumar fan. What can I say? The man was born to entertain!

My policy in life is to live and let live.

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?

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!

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?

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.

When I was in my college, I remember travelling by buses to tutions, and I have travelled by local trains as well.

I always believe that one should be able to deal with any situations.

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.
