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.

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.

I am anyway acting all the time with my bacche log (kids), so I do not miss it at all!

By the time you're 30, you know who you are inside. You learn to laugh at things you can't change; you learn to be yourself.

For me, men and women are different. A man is genetically gifted to pull more than a woman. But at the same time, I don't consider women to be any less than men. In fact, I feel we are far more intelligent than them.

Financially, I do not need to work unless I want to, and whatever film I accept has to be right for me in the sense that it should justify the time I spend away from my husband and kids.

I've punched a fan in the face because he was obnoxious. I've also pinched a child and made him cry, but I was 10 then!
