My mother [actress Tanuja] has taught me that. It's 100 percent home or 100 percent work - I give complete attention to both. That's because I understand that work is not my life, and my life is not just work.

Earlier, my priority was only work. I worked like a dog before I got married. After marriage, once you have a baby, time management is difficult. Your responsibilities change, your priorities change. And you have to concentrate on them if you have to work out your life. Your career is just a part of your life. For me, my family is my life.

I'd say working on television is much, much tougher than films. But television has a great connect with a live audience, which is a refreshing change for us actors.

I am simply not interested in the pots and pans affair, and neither can I bring myself to be interested in the same. I have such great cooks in the family that I would rather manage the other affairs and leave the kitchen to those who know it best.

Every film that I have done has been woman-centric, because I am in it.

I tell my daughter Nyssa, you should respect my work and I will also respect yours when you grow up, "Work is worship" is what I have told her.

When you walk in a saree, you must kick the pleats. It becomes more comfortable that way.
