| Quote | |
|---|---|
| 1 | On Shoaib Akhtar: He is decent looking, but I don’t know about his sex appeal. You need to have a good personality and moral qualities, apart from looks to be sexy. He is a good cricketer, but I don’t think he is sexy. |
| 2 | Marriages are forever, they should be forever. I think marriages are falling apart these days because egos have become larger than life. Women have become independent and so they easily walk out of relationships. Earlier the woman would totally depend on the man. There will be ups and downs in marriage and we should deal with it gracefully. Selfishness will leave us lonely at the end of the day. In my profession, girls are more committed; if they see someone or are married then they stick to their commitment. Guys just get carried away. So it is very difficult to say whether I will marry an actor. There are a few successful marriages in the industry too, but still… I feel that the first choice should be the last choice and that is also the reason why I haven’t got a boy friend. If I decide to go around with a guy, I would want to marry him otherwise it doesn’t make sense. So not just marriage but I must say that relationships are forever. |
