I believe in the institution of marriage and it's like a tag to cement the relationship for your friends, family and public.

I never really do much research before signing a film. It is just the script and character that I concentrate on.

In 2007, my life changed forever. I signed on Tashan, a full-on glamorous masala movie, with two of the hottest and fittest actors around: Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. And me, rising out of the sea like a Bond girl, wearing nothing but a green bikini. I had nightmares of how my love handles would be on display for the whole world to see.

Be it a village or a city, education is very important, and it always comes into you.

It is important to be well read, at least a little bit.

If I want to kiss, I shall kiss. If I am told that a lovemaking scene is integral to the script, I will consider it.

I'm a huge Aamir Khan fan. I love Aamir, so everything he does is brilliant. We expect something different from somebody like Aamir, whether it's in promotion, or whether it's in a film, and plus it has RajKumar Hirani.
