Every day, I try to make my dreams come true. And they often do.Collection: Dreams
I'm not someone who chases illusions.
I have no limits. There is no 'No' in my dictionary; nothing is impossible for me.
Lots of people feel that I am a fake. But I know that my smile and twinkle exist, reflecting the glow of my creator.
I seriously think Bachchan is more Bengali than any one I know. He's a true Bengali dada. And I'm not saying that because he has a Bengali wife or has spent time in Kolkata. There's more of Rabindranath Tagore's legacy in him than anyone else.
For me, joy is eating home-cooked payasam in a bowl that I have cleaned and polished myself.
True sensuality is something that is inherent or innate.
I believe that every day is a celebration and every day I'm born anew and genuinely try to live every day differently.
I was called the 'Ugly Duckling' of Hindi films because of my dark complexion and south Indian features.
My sister Radha, who lives in the U.S., has discovered her craft in painting. She is by far the most beautiful among us sisters. If only Radha had been as tall as me, she'd have been the actor in the family.
I am real, my motto is not to allow myself to stagnate in any which way, be it emotional, mental, physical and practical, I feel I have conquered the deep recesses of my life.
I am vegetarian, an eggetarian rather... because of its proteins.
When you savour and relish every moment, then you learn the art of preserving yourself.
People come and go in your life. It is up to you choose how you want to associate with that person. It is up to you to learn and imbibe things from such a person.
I was never the kind of person who voiced my impressions or my feelings. I never told anybody what I feel. I still don't.
I have this A-line figure. It starts with my face being small and increases as it goes down. Actually South Indians have this problem. Small face. Big hips.
I don't really want to be a goddess, or a diva or whatever I'm called. I just want to fulfil my responsibilities.
I am jealous of people who can play instruments.
When does one register that one is a woman? Does she become a woman when she becomes responsible; when she falls in love; when she goes through pain?
I'm a perceptive person. I know what's good and I don't venture into what's not good. I've discovered my own khazana. Everybody should.
I have never taken stardom seriously.
My face is so slim that it is the most deceptive part of my body. Looking at my face, people think I am a very thin and delicate person.
I can't accept every film that is offered to me. Not all of them interest me.
However popular an artiste may be, awards were reassuring.
Standing in front of Mr Amitabh Bachchan is not easy.
I enjoy every moment of my life.
No talk show or game show for me, thanks.
I'm computer illiterate. I believe the Internet has got every photograph and every detail of my life. But no blogging for me, thank you.
I remember what I felt at 27. That's when I became my own person, a woman of the world. I knew what I wanted in life. I fell in love with life.
I will always be Bhanurekha. Whatever she was, in me as a human being, she is still very much there.
I don't believe in success, I don't believe in achievements so to speak. I just believe in relishing every moment of my life. That's enough for me.
I don't care much for success - it is an alien word to me.
I don't think acting is something words can express. It's just a feeling.
I think what attracts a woman to a man are his imperfections.
Marriage, like history, cannot be expressed in words. ou have to savour it, taste it, live it and the true fun is to relive it.
I have always loved and admired women.
I die a hundred deaths each day. I die when I see hungry people. Or people who're sad. I die when I know I can do nothing about pollution in Mumbai. I die when I feel helpless when my loved one is in pain.
Life is not perfect. I've had my share of sweat, blood and pain.
I don't believe in either selling or marketing myself.
People give more importance to material things, it all seems to be a power game, while people ought be making the most of every moment as time is fleeting.
I feel I have been born to affect people in a positive way.
I don't think people change.
Bhanurekhan never wanted to be an actress. She had different dreams and desires.
