"It's a slow crushing process. Every day you tolerate a little this, a little that. I am a sensitive person. When something bothers me, it will pinch and I'll accept that and I'll go on and say chalo, next time. But you wake up one day and you're suffocating. You have to quench your natural desire to scream, run or just get out."
"At college, I had just one friend who was Asian and she came up with this wacky idea of going for a visit to India. I was going through a rough time and feeling unhappy with my life at that point, so I thought, why not? We flew to Mumbai and she introduced me to a photographer friend of hers. I didn't have much of a portfolio then, so I had some pictures taken and through that I met some influential people. As I had travelled so much in my childhood, it was not that much of a shock to move to a new city. If anything, I instantly felt at home."

"Every one has her own love life. Every one has a dream to get a perfect life partner. But this is not so easy in real life. In fact, one doesn't love; it happens."
"For me, physical beauty is never the reason for attraction to anyone."
"I feel it is important not to get overly obsessed and overly carried away with just the physical aspect. There is more to beauty than just the physical appearance. You are also a complete person, and a woman should have an identity beyond just the way she looks."
"Learning what all you can overcome as a person, as a human being, is very important. It's very important to understand your strength. Which is not to say you become hardened or bitter."
"I'm not a big spender or shopper. Neither am I extravagant, nor do I have big expenses. I mainly spend on travel. I don't buy overpriced clothes, as I feel such expenses are unnecessary. I probably wouldn't buy expensive watches or jewellery either."
