Judging a reality show

It’s not easy to critique but I don’t think I have a problem with being honest. But as long as you can critique and encourage them, then the criticism becomes constructive. If you just criticise and be mean, it becomes destructive. And I always treat people the way I like to be treated by them.

Childhood aspiration

I don’t know, but I never wanted to be an actress. Till date my mother tells me when I was a little child I told her I wanted to be the Prime Minister, a cop or even a judge. I even said I wanted to join the army or be a truck driver, but I never said that I wanted to be an actress. I went from criminal psychology to being an actress and then into cricket.

Bold and outspoken

I don’t have time to think about what others think. I stopped thinking about what others thought a long time ago. Because when you start thinking about that, you start feeling bad, you start looking bad and you can’t sleep. It’s not just one other person; there is just one ‘you’ and billions of others. I just think about the people who love me, whom I love and what they think about me. I don’t waste my time on yeh kya soch raha hai, woh kya soch raha hai (what does this or that person think).

Bhaiyyaji Superhitt

We are going to complete the film when Sunny Deol finishes his film (Ghayal Once Again). We are going to start working on it very soon.

Battling depression

Whenever something in life is not on the right track, depression automatically sets in. But I can’t be sad for a long time. I am a happy person. I shut myself in my room, scream loudly and cry it all out. And in some time, I’m fine again.
