I feel like I am married to my best friend. I share everything with him - whatever happens on the sets or otherwise. In the same way, he shares everything with me, too.
I am like Monisha Sarabhai in real life.
I always wanted to open an old peoples home and an animal shelter.
The whole casting of 'Anupamaa' is so unconventional.
I don't let any food go to waste at home.
I didn't want a big, dramatic wedding, but loads of drama happened anyway.
In fact, many of us from my generation of actors are in the profession because we were all deeply inspired by Sridevi.
Some people are physically or mentally challenged. I'm emotionally challenged!
In the run up to the big day, my brother kept saying, 'you are getting married' every five minutes. Because everything happened in such a hurry, I even forgot to invite many of my friends.
Ashwin and I don't like elaborate weddings, so we had a court marriage.
Ask my family about my obsession for discounts and they will tell you.
Bigg Boss' taught me to be a better person. But my mother will still vouch that I am the same devil.
Having a child was difficult.
I have got everything I wanted, people put so much faith on me, so I have to deliver my best, really.
Sarabhai' is a monster that continues to grow and win millions of hearts.
Every artiste vies for that one role, which takes her a level up, where people start recognising your work and acknowledging the fact that you are a good actor.
From 58 kilos when I delivered Rudransh, I went up to 86 kilos.
I'm really shy and I'm scared of people judging me.
As a kid, I didn't have a shower at home, and I was used to taking bucket baths, so I went back to that old habit.
Offers have to be really interesting for me to take them up either in movies or TV.
I have met many superstars at our place and parties also but I have never taken a photograph with anyone. Sridevi is the only actress with whom I have clicked a picture.
I bargain even in departmental stores to get special discount on their 'best prize!' I mean why should the corporate companies make all the money?
Bigg Boss' made me famous, and I enjoyed the attention.
I have known Akshay from the days he was a struggler.
I have been a cry baby since my childhood. Even teachers were scared of my crying.
We will all agree that the role of a home-maker is not an easy one, and seeing all these ladies do it with such finesse is really inspirational! All of these strong women have inspired me a lot to get into the character as 'Anupamaa' truly resonates with their lives.
I cried inconsolably when Sridevi passed away, I also went to see her and paid my last respects.
I have been part of some fantastic shows and played great characters, including a double role in 'Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi' and a negative one in 'Sanjivani' because I was bored of playing positive characters.
You can't predict the fate of a show.
Please use biodegradable plastic, please don't use disposable water, carry your own water, try to walk or use cycle, or carpool, or else use public transport.
They call me garbage queen at home, because I'm extremely particular about reduce, reuse and recycle.
I like laughing and having fun all the time, and I make sure people around me have fun, too.
Who gives anybody a right to judge a mother? Nobody knows the kind of issues that a woman is going through.
Ashwin means the world to me.
I like watching lots of television when I have time on my hands.
I know what I do for the environment is not enough, I can do so much more but we're so used to and we're so conditioned to certain kind of luxury in our lifestyles, that we kind of disregard the environment at the cost of our future generations.
Though my father guided me on how to act, unknowingly, she has been my teacher. The one actor who I look up to and learn from has been Sridevi. She has been my inspiration.
I believe it is better to take extra precautions now than to regret later.
According to me every woman who maintains a balance between her professional and personal life or chooses to be a home-maker in order to take care of her family are all my inspiration.
My son is no less than a miracle for me.
I do not think I felt the pressure on my debut show.
I would suggest everyone to check on Google how we can save our environment.
I just hope and pray that my passion and enthusiasm translate on-screen.
Thinking of it now, I didn't do a thing for my wedding. I was sleepwalking through it at all.
I am extremely scared of water, darkness and am claustrophobic.
I am an avid television watcher.
I've never had an adventurous streak in me.
Everyone loves winning.
Every medium has its drawback.
To be 40 plus and not have a 26-inch waist when you're playing the lead can be challenging at times.
There are good roles for actors of every age now. In fact TV is a breeding ground for new talents. There are so many actors who start their journey with television, learn so much from here and then start try in films and web.
I had major thyroid issues, so your fertility count does go down.
Since my childhood, I have seen 'Nagina,' 'Chalbaaz' and 'Mr. India' so many times.
Family for me is my priority and nothing replaces them for me.
Yes I agree shows sometimes go over dramatic, hit tracks get repeated, but then why not also talk about the kind of interesting shows that the medium is churning?
Historically Indians have been frugal in terms of living, using only as much is required. Now convenience has taken over our simple and sustainable ways of living. We used to wash clothes with our hands, we used buckets and a mug for bath, there was emphasis on ventilation - but all that is lost to the fast pace of living.
God's every creation is beautiful.
If I'm doing a daily soap I would like my character to drive the narrative.
I'm that woman who would reuse all the plastic bottles that come home, wear the same clothes time and again, because why not?
