You know what`s the worst part about being an actress? It`s the pressure to look gorgeous all the time and to behave perfectly. But I`m not perfect, nobody is.

I am proud to be part of today`s Bollywood. I love dancing and lip synching to our songs.

To act, you must know pain. You must know what it means to be in love, what it means to be rejected.

I am single and desperately looking for a good man in my life. I did have major crushes when I was younger but no serious relationship.

Acting can truly take a toll on your nerves. I mean we have to be larger than life. Worse, I`ve seen actors acting off the sets too.

I want to bring a change and do something new and different in my profession, but in the beginning I`ll have to toe line, I want to be known as a performer not a star.

On love at first sight "It is superficial to fall in love with someone looking at their face. To me I need to discover the person. I would never look at someone and exclaim - He is the one!"

Love is always real and true love is even more real!

Whenever I came across something that influenced me, I wanted to be that. So it varied from an astronaut, airhostess, army girl, to truck driver. Once, I wanted to be a nun - my mother wanted me to change schools after that...

On the changing face of Indian cinema "At one time I wondered if I was doing the right films, today I know I have made the right choices. Indian cinema is changing, not step by step but by leaps. New blood is coming in, mindsets are changing and our exposure to the world is ever- increasing. I am glad these positive changes are happening when I am in the industry and not ten years from now."

I want to bring a change and do something new and different in my profession, but in the beginning I`ll have to toe line, I want to be known as a performer not a star.

I lost my father when I was 13-years-old. He was a great man, my father, and very intelligent. I love him very much. I believe it`s very important that parents have a personal connection with their children. It helps kids feel more secure, have a feeling of family, makes them feel loved.
