Happiness is being content with what you have, living in freedom and liberty, having a good family life and good friends.
Divyanka Tripathi
If you are good to people, they reciprocate with good behaviour.
As long as there is a new twist in the storyline, there cannot be any space for monotony.
I don't wish to curse anyone. I just feel bad when women, especially, try to sabotage the image of another woman.
There are groups of haters who always try to malign my image. They question my character and make all kinds of false announcements. It hurts because they assume things and without any proof in hand.
My best memories in life are with my elder sister Priyanka Tiwari and my brother Aishwarya Tripathi.
I have learnt sketching, drawing, singing, dancing, rifle shooting, paragliding.
In India, public display of affection is frowned upon.
We must never lose our individuality.
Small things make me happy, and I laugh out loud on the silliest of jokes!
Even though I am an actor, by nature I am what you could call a homely girl.
Vivek is a very supportive man. If I am in the kitchen doing something, he comes and helps. I don't think marriage will change anything for us. Our careers will not be affected after marriage. He believes in gender equality and is a man of today's time.
Ever since I got married, I have been in a blissful state.
I really believe that some things happen for a reason, and they make you a better person.
Respect your partner. Be happy in your partner's happiness.
We women are fools to do so much for the man we love. And we forget to stand for ourselves.
Not many know that I'm a mountaineer, and my love for adventure will never die.
I won't sleep until I have resolved an issue with my husband.
Playing mother to grown-up kids does not allure me much. I will not feel comfortable. Also, my fans will not like me with grey hair.
Kids in the entertainment industry are at a risk of developing depression, as they see glamour at an early age.
I believe that children should not be made to work.
I am a huge fan of Madhuri Dixit.
Nothing scares me about marriage.
Being a TV actor is quite different from being a movie star, and I always try and highlight my character. It is the reason why I am more inclined to taking frequent sabbaticals: so that when I return, people can identify with the character I play.
I have a memory problem. My family and friends call me Lady Ghajini.
As far as dating is concerned, I'm not a casual dating person.
Comedy is far more difficult, as it involves improvisation and impromptu acting, and as an actor, that came as a welcome break for me.
I'm not a chui-mui.
I am a practical girl.
After certain ups and downs, a person does change, and I have changed for good.
People still create limitations and laws for women. But every woman deserves to choose her own path.
Fans really give us a lot of love.
I can never lie to my partner. Even if the truth is harsh, I'll break it to my partner but won't lie.
You tend to relate to the other person better if you understand their professional needs.
It is sweet that people want to know everything about my wedding, but they should also respect my privacy.
Never fight with or disrespect your partner in front of other people.
I usually have a 13-hour workday. But at times, we get lucky when we wind up in 8 or 10 hours.
I have started exploring my own life and have started valuing myself. I have started valuing my individuality.
I feel blessed to keep my adventurous passion at peak while doing a daily soap.
'YHM' has broken many stereotypes on Indian television with its take on remarriage, infertility, and idea of marrying for the love for a child.
I need to find the right guy and the right family. The day I find something worth my while, I will get married and have kids, too.
I am lucky that people recognise me wherever I go, but that makes it tough for me to shop.
I am a celebrity, but I don't want people standing outside my wedding venue.
Fortunately, I have seen only successful and motivating relationships around me that inspired me to get married.
No actor can be a complete artist without trying his/her hand at comic roles.
I think the universe was preparing me to be an actor. I never pursued one thing for long, but I was jack of all trades. I was learning everything possible because I knew my father would never shell out money for dresses or parties, but he would always give me money for new courses and books.
I am still a hard-core romantic.
There was nothing girlish about me. I wore clothes hand-stitched by my mother... I had only one ear pierced and preferred loose shirts and trousers. I think I was imitating my father!
I look forward to a life partner who can look after me and respect me.
Earlier, I thought it would be better for an actress to marry a businessman or a person from other profession, as it offers more stability. But then I realised that if I marry someone who doesn't belong to the same industry , he wouldn't understand my erratic schedules and also the norms of the glamour industry.
