Never compare yourself to others. you are unique. It doesn’t matter what the world thinks about your body; what matters is your body. In fact, I don’t even know what the “perfect” dress size is! From an insider’s perspective, don’t be fooled by everything you see on TV or in magazines. Keep it real. There’s a lot of Photoshopped stuff going on to make everyone look more glamorous. It can do terrible things to your self-esteem. Do a little research and you’ll find that no one is perfect. Know it and own it. “

Yeah, I think it makes us all sad that we don’t have a niche in the industry because you can see we barely got a cover in a year. People who work in magazines also know that they have to promote Bollywood actresses because they are beautiful women and they have influence and that’s why they are on the cover. But I hope the fashion industry can develop further and be able to do what they need to do. “
- When asked in an interview if she would do a song, she denied it. she says,
I don’t think I’d want to do project songs. If I make a Bollywood film, then it should have a message, like 3 Idiots, Gulzarish. I wanted to do something that would spread the word and make an impact. “
