"Yes,
there was such a scene which Bhatt wanted. But I refused
to shoot it. He had offered to use a body double and
shoot me swimming in such a way that it would look as if
I was totally naked in the pool. He said he'd take a top
angle shot,"
"I thought I am a modern girl. But when the moment
actually came, I developed cold feet,"
"Dharam ji is still so dashing and good-looking he is
even at 71. I don't see anyone today who has half his
charisma,"
"I remember when I disclosed my career option to my
folks, all hell broke loose. My father is a zamindar
back home. So you can imagine all the fuss. And my mom,
she still wears a ghunghat."
"I have always wanted to be an actress. In spite of
strong opposition from my orthodox family, I came to
Mumbai in 2002 on completion of my graduation from Delhi
University. In fact, I ran off from home to pursue my
career."
"I knew my parents would never let me be an actress, so
I had to take the bold step. However, I have a strong
support from my kid brother Vikram, whom I love more
than anything else in this world."
"I would like to say I handle criticism well. In fact I
enjoy reading the comments of the critics. It's great to
have critics blasting you all the time. It keeps you on
your toes, spurs you, challenges you, makes you want to
get better. I take everything positively. There's so
much to learn and do."
"I always wanted to be an actress. I'd ape all the
actresses before the mirror even when it was forbidden
in my community. Wide-eyed as I may sound, it's a dream
come true, yaar!"
"I may not be here to titillate, but I am not sorry if I
have that edge. People aren't coming to the theaters to
see me in a burqa".
"I had a song with Tusshar Kapoor in _Jeena Sirf Merre
Liye_(2002) and they cut it. I'm so happy nobody went to
the theaters to watch the film. The only people who must
have watched the film were Tusshar's family, my family
and Kareena's".
"I've slogged like crazy to get where I am. And those
who think it's just my body that got me where I am, they
should take a look at the others who have rushed in
after me. They haven't gone beyond their first feverish
film".
"I have always looked up to Bipasha and she has
certainly opened a lot of doors for many actresses like
us. But I don't want to compete against anyone. I think
I am one of a kind".
