Quotes
'I've grown up watching Shah Rukh Khan and never really imagined that one day I will get to play the lead opposite him. About Om Shanti Om.
'I'm a shy person. I contradict my own profession, because I'm an introvert in a very glamourous world. I'm not snobbish. I guess, I've got a lot of values from my parents. Right now, I'm nervous. This year is a turning point. It's a dream world of interviews, travelling, meeting people - I'm loving it all. When I'm not working, I chill out with friends or fly home to my parents in Bangalore. It calms me. Life's good at the moment. Real good.' About her private life
'Critics believe, you'll be the next Aishwarya Rai? 'Super. She's my icon, I would love to be like her. I have a long way to go.' About Aishwarya Rai
