Personal Quotes
About Priyanka Chopra: "We've never claimed to be best friends. We've had our ups and downs, after all, we're competitors in the same field. But I'd hate to have an attitude towards her. I think Priyanka is very talented but I don't think we're up for the same slot. Both of us will definitely create our own slots,"
Her thoughts on the smoking ban in Indian cinema: "If I am stylish and smoke on big screen, then youngsters of our country are bound to follow that. I have not yet got one good reason why people smoke in life! I have never understood the reason and logic of smoking."
Where Are They Now
