I'd be lying if I said that I took it all very calm and cool when my 12-year-old marriage broke up. I did feel angry, bitter, sad, but I didn't let them consume me.Collection: Marriage

The idea is to grow. There is a shelf life for every avatar and the nature of roles will change and one just has to keep doing different things.
I've ventured into my past life and have experienced it. What I was in the previous life and why I've taken birth in this world, I believe in all of this because I've seen it on my own.
Now my children also don't have a particular religion as I also didn't have. The only difference is that now they have Muslim and Parsi also in their blood. So they may be called Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Sikh, Christian and Parsi!
As long as one uses the SMS facility to keep in touch or for work, it's okay. But, it should never intrude into your personal sphere. There are people I know who use it in relationships and there one has to draw a line.
I love to be known as a sex symbol.

My philosophy is live life so you won't mind talking about it.
The lockdown has taught people how to make do with what they have and how to consume responsibly. For the sake of our environment and our very own holistic wellness, I hope this wellness trend of sustainability continues to grow and spread.
Cooking at home is a great wellness trend simply because you know exactly what goes into your meal and you can tweak it to your tastes.
Age-old therapies that Indian households have followed for centuries, like drinking kasha's, mixing turmeric with pepper and honey, planting tulsi for purification and the use of aromatherapy to boost immunity have now become new age therapies.
My wardrobe comprises of the world's top designers and is equally filled with shopping from roadside stalls and local shops because I believe 'if it looks good, it looks good!' full stop.

Swimming, trekking, outdoor sports activities have been a part of life right from childhood through youth.
It felt great to acquire rock-solid, fab abs, toned shoulders and great legs.
My children have really liked the men in my life and they have liked each one of them.
More than I wanting to be married, it has been my kids who tell me that I should settle down.
Experiences in life are supposed to make you better, not bitter. If one marriage doesn't work out, it's not necessary that the second one won't.
No show is bigger for me than my children.
I hug my kids, staff, dogs; that is the way I show my affection. If people don't understand that, I can't help it.

I grew up in a no man's land. My mother was ultra liberated and she thought I was backward because I didn't smoke or do drugs, yet for the society, I was very modern. Mothers would keep their daughters away from me for fear they would get corrupted.

People ask me how can I give them relationship advice when my marriage was a failure. I tell them staying put in a bad relationship is not success, leaving a terrible relationship successfully, is a success.
Interestingly, Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, who is a transgender, was really close to me. She used to tell me that she was ready to change her sexuality for me. In fact, she would touch me and hug me like a man. Her voice would change when she spoke to me and called me darling and it became rather macho. I think it was really cute and lots of fun.
I didn't choose to be a celebrity daughter; that was a gift.
It's terrible to be trapped in a bad marriage. It would be nice if your marriage was forever, but why grudge it for what it was not?
