Personal Quotes
# “Life is full of happiness and tears, be strong and have faith.”
# “I want a man I can keep for myself. I wouldn't ever share my man with anyone else.”
# “I am not a home breaker and I can never be. I haven't been brought up to create havoc in other people's homes.”
# “If I found out that my man is unfaithful, there'd be no tears, no shor-sharaba, I'd just slaughter him.”
# “Men are gutless. Why can't they own up to the women they love?”
# “A lot of guys try to mingle with me because of who I am. If I encounter a guy with a clean heart, I will go by my instincts. I guess my man won't be from the film industry.”
# “I am a hell raiser. I do my own thing. And I believe what I do is the right thing.”
# “I wouldn't be able to turn a blind eye to my husband activities like other star wives. I will be screaming down this throat, demanding an account of every minute of his. So you see an actor won't be good for my peace of mind.”
# “The most shocking part of the articles linking me with Hrithik Roshan was the insinuation that I was willing to give up my career to run after him. Please! Not for a man, never.”
# “My co-stars call me selfish. They say you are only interested in yourself and what you are only interested is yourself and what you are doing in front of the camera. I reply, I can't help it; it's what got me where I am.”
# “The one thing I like being in a relationship is that we get to share things. Our experiences about life, comparing notes about things that have happened to us. Then you get companionship, which is great. You laugh, you talk, you fight. There's a mazaa in that. I like everything about being in a relationship. I like feeling secure. I like the companionship, making the other person happy. And if you're in a good relationship, there's nothing you don't like about it.”
# “I think Shah Rukh is our answer to Tom Cruise. For me he is bigger than Tom Cruise. And talking of Hollywood... to get a role there you have to give screen tests, park yourself there for about seven to eight months, and then maybe you'll get a two-bit role. I'd rather enjoy the best of Bollywood.”
# “I am not making any exceptions. Yes, I was clear with Rohit Shetty in Golmaal 3 that it needs to be a performance-oriented role. As long as my role is the best role in the film, it doesn't depend on how many other girls are in it.”
# “I hate pitting on make-up and doing my hair. I'm much happier in one plait. And I love to cry.”
# “I still hate putting on make-up. I crib all the time when my face is being done up. And I still yell and crib when Manish (Malhotra)makes me try on outfits. I hate dressing up. I'm happy in my salwar-kameez.”
# “My film-makers have accepted me. They know I'm in a league of my own. Madhuri Dixit gave her first hit after nine years. Sridevi never had a historical hit. And yet they were the top actresses because they were immensely talented. The same goes for me too.”
