I am a simpleton at heart. In my personal life, I don't wear makeup.

Kissing onscreen is the worst thing in the world. I'm OK with lovemaking scenes, but I hate kissing.

You don't have to do offbeat films to prove that you can act. I have done it but only to prove myself that I can fit convincingly into every kind of films. I want to do the 100 crore film where the hero does all the work, and I get to relax.

I am very proud of my role in 'Singularity.' It pushed me into the territory of period romance. It was a very emotional and challenging role.

When I started out as a model, I took things for granted. Because I bagged work thanks to my looks, I didn't give my body any importance. I was a couch potato who'd eat anything. Then, in 2005, a tabloid ran a story calling me fat. I thought, 'I'm famous. How can I be fat?' It was a slap. I decided to get fit.

I want to do entertaining films, where a woman gets the respect of being an actor.

I'm really bad at taking compliments, but whenever I get them, I tell myself, 'Way to go, girl' and move on.
