I don't enjoy being told what to do, I'm not that kind of actor, I'm a thinking actor.

I seek out parts which are strong women. It's not the quantity of a role; it's the quality of a role.

I live cinema and passionately love music, and my efforts in both these crafts are unfolding.

There have been so many nations around the world that have had female leaders, including India.

The joy of creating is the truest joy.

There are cliques in Bollywood, and people stick together, but I have always tried to stick to my work. As an industry, Bollywood is very competitive, and I'm very competitive as a person, but I've never been a part of any clique, and I've always worked with all actors and directors, all camps.

I learned very early in my career that when I don't arrive on set, production will shut down, which means people won't get paid; there's that much responsibility.
