I always advocate to young women that if we don't do this for ourselves, no one else is going to. We have to have a voice.

When someone asks me about my diet I feel terrible saying that I don't really have one.

It's so stupid, so archaic to say that men are so stupid they'd give anything for sex, and women are...that that's the only resort we have.

I owe 90 per cent of my life to people because I am a public figure, but 10 per cent is private to me. And I am not saying it in a defensive way. I feel my life has been made into a TV serial.

My father is conservative but has always supported my decisions. He lets me take my own decisions. His only condition while allowing me to come to Mumbai was that my mother must accompany me.

The world, the way we look at women and sexuality, is what needs to change - not our behavior, not who we are, not what we say. It's the intentions that should change. It's the mind-set. Otherwise, we're just going to be a completely confused society with not knowing what to say to one another. The mind-set of when you meet a woman is that you should try and get to know her.

I am a very private person. No one ever knows anything about me as I don't think it is necessary. I tell people as much as I want them to know about me.
