Delhi is my emotional home. I still dream of owning a home there.

Men are like mascara, they run at the slightest display of emotion.

Today, of course, the world's perception of India has changed tremendously. People understand its role in world affairs; they understand that India is not some backward nation. In fact, it is the fastest growing free-market democracy in the world today, and that says it all.

When you are a filmmaker, you need to be rooted, because committing yourself to producing or directing a film is a good three-year process.

I also said, men are like curling irons, they never get out of your hair. And they are like government bonds, they take so long to mature.

I grew up speaking English and Punjabi. Just living and working in Punjab and smelling the early morning air and sitting down and having paranthas and lassi and all that was marvellous.

Everything has a place and time.
