1 | One thing is really strange in our industry that when we work together, we are a family and after the film gets over we becomes strangers. |
2 | On her father-in-law, legendary music composer & singer Hemant Kumar: "I have learnt lot of things from Hemant Kumar. He was a lovely and down to earth person. People say he was not only a very good singer but also a fantastic human being." |
3 | On women film directors: "It feels great that women are creating their space in a male dominated world." |
4 | I was never a busy actor in my entire career. I am from Kolkata. I am married to popular yesteryear singer Hemant Kumar's son and after my marriage I joined the Hindi film industry. I have balanced my career and family. Apart from that I have two lovely daughters. So I have played several roles in my life. |
5 | God is not only kind but he was quite partial to me. He has given me so much. The loveliest thing that he blessed me with is my two daughters Payal and Megha. They are awesome. And off course without the support of my husband I would have never enjoyed my life and wouldn't have been doing the things that I am doing today. |
