I was studying in a school in Chandigarh when Yash Chopra discovered me and cast me for 'Trishul.'
I only know a few people who I call friends and a few who've given me the respect, like Yash Chopra, Aditya Chopra, Aamir Khan and Mani Ratnam.
One day, I got a call from Aditya Chopra and he said, 'Ma'am, I am Aditya Chopra speaking, Yash Chopra ji's son. I am making a film and I have a role for you.' I was so simple at that time, I told him, 'Ya fine, I am shooting at Noor Mahal bungalow, you come and meet me there.'
I am a huge fan of Yash Chopra, Karan Johar, Farah Khan, Sooraj Barjatiya or Sanjay Leela Bhansali or Aditya Chopra. They are great legends.
Who says I haggled for money? If directors like Yash Chopra promised me an amount for singing 'Tujhe dekha to yeh jana sanam' but back-tracked once the song was a huge hit, am I to blame for asking what was due to me?
My grandfather started a school for the underprivileged in Chandigarh, and that is why we moved from Himachal to Chandigarh. It was a small school, where even I would teach while in school.
My fans got connected to Yash on a social networking site and they expressed their love for me to him. Although I am not active on FB, Yash sometimes keeps checking out FB to stay updated regarding 'Code Red.' He told me that many crazy girls and guys wish to meet me. They kept on requesting Yash to help them meet me.
I was great friends with Rakesh Kumar, B. Naggi Reddy and Yash Chopra.
One of the biggest regrets I have in life is not getting an opportunity to work with Yash Chopra.
I always wanted to wear those chiffon saris and work in Yash Chopra films.
When I didn't become the quintessential Yash Chopra hero, I got into the 'struggle' period and became negative.
I have grown up watching Yash Chopra ji's films and am a fan of his work.
I had grown up fantasising of being Yash Chopra's heroine because I have loved his films.
There are very few people, like Mukesh and Mahesh Bhatt, Bhushan Kumar, and even Yash Chopra, with whom I have worked, who understand music.
I remember Yash Chopra ji had called me for a narration. I was preoccupied with other films and couldn't take up the offer as many of the projects I had signed on were already on floors and filmmakers were fighting for my dates. Well, the film was 'Darr,' which later went to Shah Rukh Khan and shaped his career.
I was looked upon as this privileged actress who was like Yash Chopra's family. He was my second family. Whatever I have achieved is because of him.
If I can work with Shyam Benegal and Yash Chopra together, who are the kings of art house and commercial cinema and win awards for both of them then it means I have placed myself everywhere.
