Quotes

“It’s really painful to shoot smooch shots in front of dozens of people while shooting. What’s irritating is the actor‘s stubble, which rubs with my skin when I touch him.”

“I have pledged that in any of my forthcoming films I will not give a lip kiss. I am not comfortable doing that. I belong to a traditional family and my values do not allow me to indulge in such acts.”

“I can kiss only Emraan Hashmi comfortably. If I had to do a kissing shot with any other actor, I would have literally cried.”

“I hate it when media tries to create a hype over a smooching scene. Why not treat it as another scene.”

“I always use some good quality cream and after every shot, I apply it on my face and body parts for a soothing effect after such unpleasant experience. It also protects me against any allergy on my skin. Because of such unpleasant experiences, I prefer a clean-shaven man,”

“I didn’t want to make a debut in a film seeing which the audience would say, ‘Oh, just another model, who’s come and gone.’ I needed people to sit up and take notice of me,”

“One never knows what destiny has in store. I always knew I wanted to be in the glamour industry. I did well as a model and now I hope all works for me as an actress”

“I am quite happy that I did Aksar because I got a very interesting character to play. It’s all about sex and scandals and I am playing the lead role in the film,”

“While doing multi-starrer movies, there has always been a problem of getting equal share. It has happened with many other actors too. So, I am not keen on signing such projects. Even in case of a hit, you don’t earn the credit you deserve. But, after the ‘Zeher’ fight, I decided to do films where there are less chances of clash for roles and shares. I would rather wait for a lead role than sign some big multi-starrer film in a hurry.”

“I have been cheated. Shamita Shetty is there in almost every scene. A song that was to be picturised on me was passed on to her. I was led to believe that the “other woman” role in Zeher would be meatier, but it has just turned out to be fleshier.”
