War is such a wasteful activity.

I am half Bengali and half Irish by birth.

I speak Tamil and Telugu better than Bengali.

Doing films is not fun or glamorous as it seems.

Not many people know that I am a Bengali actually.

I have grown up in Chennai, so I speak Tamil fluent.

There's no denying that my popularity helped me a lot.

I know what it is to be a mother of sons in real life.

I am working for various NGOs and looking after my home.

Critical thinking and curiosity are the key to creativity.

I tend to gravitate towards very simple, minimalistic styles.

Yes, I am a Bengali but I am sorry I can't converse in Bengali.

I never imagined I would wear a silk sari as I practice Ahimsa.

Nobody realises that speaking Malayalam is a big challenge for me.

You have to be innovative and creative to make yourself employable.

There's is a fine line between living one's truth and looking good.

There has to be a mutual respect and trust for any marriage to work.

I do not make resolutions for New Year, but visualise and plan things.

If you are seeking fame without the requisite talent, you might wander.

I have realised the importance of finding the right nutrition for our pets.

People love a good thriller that makes them sit on their edge of their seats.

A story has to have several layers to sustain audience interest in each episode.

It is nice to go down the memory lane and remember who I am and what my roots are.

My life is rich in experiences and opportunities and I am living it to the fullest.

I can't hang out for roles but if something meaningful comes my way I don't say no.

I have never looked back on what I have done. Instead I am looking for new things to do.

Most parents feel traditional professional courses will give their children a stable future.

My father was from East Bengal. Having lost everything to the Partition, he came as a refugee.

Like Hyderabad you can't shoot outside in summers. Similarly, Delhi gets scorching in summers.

I love pushing myself and I think being in a comfort zone perennially can restrict your growth.

Only a niche section of parents allow their children to take up courses on film and television.

We all go through phases; in one such phase, I was interested to know about the psychic phenomenon.

Nutrition is the topmost priority for me with my pets at home as well as for the team at Blue Cross.

I had to take a decision. Do I pursue dance, my passion, or help my mother out? The movies beckoned.

Also, it is futile to hold on very tight to your man as this will just kill your love for each other.

When you start off as a dancer, you don't become one overnight; you must train for more than a decade.

Ereena is a commendable mission for both women empowerment and environmentally sustainable Ahimsa silk.

Everyone is born with it but, unfortunately, our society and culture are programmed to kill creativity.

What I find most deplorable is cruelty of spirit - racism, casteism, and religious or social prejudice.

I don't feel the need to act. But if I really like the role and it doesn't demand much of my time, maybe.

It helps to have a fit body if you are meditating. Yoga conditions the body so that the mind can meditate.

Writing 'Animal Talk' column in MetroPlus gave me immense satisfaction. I quite enjoyed writing the column.

I was always an animal lover. Even back in school and college, an animal in need of help was my responsibility.

My mom is Irish. She is a poet and a humanitarian who believed in ensuring that people around her had a better life.

Hyderabad used to be this sweet laid back town, everything was accepted. Coming from Chennai I thought it was a town.

It is important to sensitise children about animal behaviour as it will help develop a healthy curiosity towards nature.

I juggle so many hats that it takes something really special to convince me to get back to acting in films or TV serials.

As an actor, you are always looking for something different and challenging... 'High Priestess' gave me that rare opportunity.

We live in a country with a vast majority of people below the poverty line. Our natural resources are limited and getting scarcer.

I was extremely close to my mother-in-law and after she, and later my father-in-law passed away, I continue to feel their presence.
