There was a time when I feel that I need to take time to know more about the industry, the workings of it. I was doing my modeling, which I really wanted to do at the time. So that's why even my entry into films was later than people expected.

It's my job to look presentable but that doesn't mean I have to make a fashion statement everytime I walk out the house.

Except for Preity Zinta, I haven't met a single secure actress in Bollywood.

I would not be able to define my star power as I do not know what that is.

I can read and speak Hindi quite well now and that's quite an achievement considering I didn't know the language at all when I came down here.

Actors, who invest a lot of time and energy, will never put down each other. Every one of us has their own space in the industry. These stories are either publicity mechanisms or someone just writes them to create a controversy.

I don't think every actress in Bollywood has been associated with Lux. A select few actresses, who they felt suited the brand right (have been associated with it) and they all have been actresses of great stature with wonderful careers and some wonderful work. I am very honoured to join the group of people who have been with Lux over the years.
