Every time I feel fearful of something now, I do it.

My whole life turned upside down once I became a mother.

Life goes on, and one should look ahead and not backward.

Unless you are aggressive, you will never become number one.

As I started parenting, I realised there is no formula to it.

There should be a sequel to 'Sarfarosh'. It was a different film.

Marriage is not synonymous to change but a new dimension to life.

I don't think telly actors are inferior to Bollywood stars in any way.

For a movie actor, the biggest challenge on TV is the number of close-up shots.

As it is, 'Size Zero' is not for me. I feel a woman should have a feminine figure.

There is no reason to compare Bollywood and Marathi films. Both have their own charm.

There's a hidden Goth in me: I have a dark sense of humour; I have a dark sense of fashion.

My writing did turn out to be quite intact, as it has all my experiences gathered at one place.

I read anything and everything. Comfort food for my brain is fantasy fiction or science fiction.

Travelling makes my work more stressful and tiring and leaves me with little spirit for exercise.

As a writer, penning down personal stuff was not easy for me, as it was way too close to my heart.

Time management is surely the most critical aspect of acing multiple arenas: home, work, and family.

I have realised that to ensure my family stays healthy, it is important I stay fit and healthy myself.

Getting married and having children is an evolution process, a live social experiment no one is documenting.

Being a fitness enthusiast, I try to stay away from overindulgence. I make sure my family eats healthy, too.

I came from a very middle class Maharashtrian family. It was a big step to get into movies. My family was shocked.

My son can be as open as he wants with me, but he cannot forget I am his mother and that all will not be forgiven.

The point of human evolution is adapting to circumstance. Not letting go of the old, but adapting it, is necessary.

I am a completely self-made person. It's been a tough journey - I learnt on the job, worked 48 hours without sleeping.

My mother-in-law thinks I'm more beautiful than all the other faces around. She keeps encouraging me to take up more work.

I have endorsed every hair product in my career. Looks have been my bread, butter, jam. Looks are important in our society.

I have two full-time jobs: one of a mother and the other of an actor. Both are equally important, and that's why I'm busy 24x7.

I have never planned my career. I never wanted to be an actress. Films were an instinctive step, just like modelling and television.

My parents are naive in their morality of things, and so, without realising it, I landed up being ethical and having strong opinions.

Bengalis have the best skin and hair; there's something more about the fish from here. I think I will start ordering fish from Bengal!

I truly believe happiness has a different meaning for everyone. But I also believe that the sense of self is the key to one's happiness.

I would be happy to do 'Sarfarosh 2'. The script should be as good as the first one. I don't want to destroy the goodwill of the first one.

Comfort is always a priority, but that doesn't mean, just for the sake of comfort, I will wear some silly stuff and make myself look tacky.

Why should I limit myself or drive myself towards a woman-centric film. Sometimes, the most interesting role is not that of the protagonist.

I know people have always seen me in very fitted clothes because that is required and so is done, but personally, I like the deconstructed look.

Personally, I wear a lot of my mother-in-law's chiffons and my mother's silk. But when I buy saris for myself, then they have to be understated.

For a formal look, I wear saris, and certain occasions require a dressed up look. But wherever I can, I like being in something easy and casual.

During Holi, my mom prepares lovely puran polis, and everyone in my family makes an exception in their diet plan to include this delicious food item!

I've discovered that being behind the camera is more fascinating. If I had to choose a profession today, it would have been something behind the camera.

I feel I should get better at my fitness regimen, but I think it's about doing it more regularly rather than expecting miracles. There are no shortcuts.

I have immense amount of respect for women who leave their kids and go to work because they have to. They don't have a choice. I couldn't have done that.

When I shaved my hair, my friends asked me to keep it, maybe make my own wig out of it, but I wanted the old hair to go; it was not mine. I wanted to let go.

I think you should allow your kid to know and watch what is dangerous instead of keeping them away from it. Otherwise, how will she or he know that it is unsafe?

Television is on a small screen, inside someone's living room, so you have to grab their attention while they are having dinner or cooking or doing something else.

People often confuse self-respect with arrogance. I believe that there is a very thin line between the two. Balance between the two is often what leads to happiness.

Television takes you to an altogether different audience and directly to people's living room. On television, I'm being myself, and that's why people relate to me more.

I'm so glad that my profession helps me find a balance. I have the luxury to choose between my work and my family. Many women don't. I thank my stars for whatever I have.

Not many people know that I was one of the first few Indian actors to do a television show. I did the dance show 'Kya Masti Kya Dhoom' when I was at the peak of my career.

Initially, I was like, 'I can handle anything. What's the big deal about being a mother?' I was not prepared for the changes which are so subtle that they creep up on you.

I love French cuisine. From crepes to the variety of cheese and seafood preparations, this cuisine is so innovative and fresh. It offers something for every kind of foodie.
