Personal Quotes
# “ I always think before I speak. I'm not the sort who will just say anything that comes to my mind. I'm a very emotional and sensitive person. But I'm also very strong and know my mind well.”
# “In the (film) industry, body size doesn't matter. What matters is how much an actor contributes through his performance and not his body size. It is important that every person should wear clothes that go with their body - the cut, the fabric make a lot of difference.”
# “I believe that it's nice to be little full and have a nice shape.”
# “Correct me if I am wrong, but I personally feel that the Indian body type is not cut out to be size zero. I am not size zero and I don't believe in that either.”
# “It's a story about love and relationships, She is young, modern.. at the same time conventional and traditional. Like me, she is career minded, focussed but also believes in love, relationships and the institution of marriage.”
# “In two years, I have reached this far despite being a rank newcomer. It's a nice feeling.I have never been on a film set nor assisted anybody in direction. But I am definitely not satisfied. I am still learning a lot.”
# “I know how to deal with success and failure. Success of Om Shanti Om did not affect me nor did failure of Chandni Chowk to China. I have learnt this as a sportsperson myself and from my father as a child.”
# “I will be choosy and work in good films only. I am not interested in exposing even if I am offered good money.”
# “I never wanted to be a Bollywood heroine. The thought never crossed my mind. As a child, I never stuck poses in front of the mirror.”
# “I’ve grown up watching Shah Rukh Khan and never really imagined that one day I will get to play the lead opposite him.”
# “I had done quite a bit of modeling and wanted to give acting a try. That’s when Farah approached me and I accepted. Today, I’m so glad that I waited since I could not have had a better debut.Farah and SRK have taken superb care of me. Farah treats me like her child.”
# “It was nice to be back on the court and play badminton with my father. And the best part was that I won the match! I’m going to get back to playing more often now.”
# “I don’t think I was under any type of pressure after the success of OSO. One always has to move on from the success of one movie to better oneself in the others. Yes, I’m very happy that I had a good start in the industry, but then I can’t sit and ponder over that thought.”
