I rather love going home after a long day at work to my husband with a fresh mind.

I love the content that COLORS showcases, it is very unusual and pathbreaking and hence I try to be part of these shows in my own way.
I never had any problem with my producers or directors.
I am absolutely at ease working in a comedy.
I hate fake people.
I don't believe in starving myself to be slim, I believe in the concept of being fit. I eat right and work out regularly.
I don't like cardio since I get bored but dancing is another form of cardio that works well for me.
I don't want my shows to run for more than a year as you get bored doing the same role. But you don't want your show to end in three months either.
I am clear about what I want from life.
I would rather be an A-lister on TV than do B- or C-grade movies.
I love tandoori chicken, stir fried veggies and any form of spaghetti, but it has to be with cheesy chicken.
I love dancing and since I had never done Dhunuchi, I found it exciting to learn.
Aamir was not that good a boyfriend; he is a better husband.
Being an actor, you have to be versatile, and open to all kinds of roles, be it positive or one with grey shades.
When they say 'action' I transform into a reserved person and as soon as they say 'cut' I am Sanjeeda.
I love dancing as it is a great stress buster.
Kolkata is a very beautiful city and I have heard that it gets completely transformed during Durga Puja.
DDLJ' - it's an out an out love story and one can relate to it. It's one of the best movies I have ever seen.
If a film offer comes my way, I am ready to consider it.
I have never sat in a Metro in Delhi and Mumbai, but one day I would love to travel in the metro in Lucknow.
Working with Amitabh Bachchan and Sarika has been one of the best experiences of my life.
I'm upset that 'Dastaan' is ending. After working so hard, to see it end abruptly is painful.
Marriage will be happy and blissful if you understand and support each other well.
It is very important for actors to maintain a variety in their body of work.
Understanding between a couple is the most important thing, rest everything follows.
I would love to share screen with Aamir as we share a great comfort level. And ideally it should be a love story as it would be easy for us to romance on screen.
Love is out of this world feeling; nothing is as pure as love.
I wasn't expecting a proposal from Aamir that night, especially when he had waited long hours for my shoot to get over and I too was drained after giving back-to-back scenes that involved portraying a lot of mental traumas and crying. As I came out of my shot, he stood in front of me, went down on his knees and proposed marriage.
Aamir and I are still boyfriend-girlfriend. The other day we were discussing how we don't feel like husband-wife; however, the only thing that has changed after my wedding is that I get to meet my guy every day.
I want to be choosy, because one has to invest a lot of time in TV shows.
Television made me who I am.
I felt people wouldn't be enticed by the web, but I was wrong. I too don't watch TV anymore, and only watch digital shows.
The digital platform has its own viewership, but we have a lot of people who still watch saas-bahu shows. That is not going to change.
I think taking a gap after a long-running show is a must.
There is a bit of myself in all the characters I play.
People love my spunk and the energy I bring into my roles.
Actors should be judged on how they look on screen, and not on the basis of the age of their characters.
I am basically from Ahmadabad in Gujarat.
I personally am happy doing a finite series as I can't play a single character for three years. Hats off to the actors who stay in a character for three four years and enjoy every moment of their character.
I've seen new actresses do one show and disappear or struggle for years to get their next break. I've been fortunate enough to have four shows back-to-back as lead.
Success and failure are temporary in TV.
When I am getting to do good work on TV, why not concentrate on that? Why think about what films I can do?
For me, a good role, and not the length, is important.
Acting is acting, be it any medium.
I think the audience expect me to be on saas-bahu dramas - such shows attract me also.
I keep a track on everything that is happening on TV.
It is good to have your partner in the same profession because the understanding is great.
Me and Aamir are like friends. We understand each other so well and it's easier I think as we have same profession.
I am not too keen to do movies, as I don't have time to waste on struggling for a role in a film.
EHT' did wonders for my career. Earlier, people knew me mostly for my dancing abilities, but this show made them take notice of my acting capabilities as well.
