While growing up, I have had women around me, be it my mother or aunt, who have individually shown me how to be strong.

My dad's side of the family was very poor while growing up, but my dadi raised three kids, got my dad through medical school, sent my uncle to America where he wanted to work and helped my aunt become an accountant, because that's what she wanted to do.

My mum was an advertising professional till she had me and my dad is a surgeon and is the director of Bhatia Hospital.

There is always a new experience on every set, a new mistake you make. It is a learning experience.

When people ask me what I do, strangers on a plane, perhaps, I tell them that I think. Thinking is excellent exercise, as much as swimming or jogging.

Many people still believe that 'green' solutions are too expensive, but they are actually much cheaper when all of the costs to public health, social services, and waste handling are factored into the same equation.

Spinning has been such an amazing part of my exercise. I love the music, the energy, and the sweat. It's a tough class, which makes me feel like I've really accomplished something. It's a great way to burn fat and lean out the body. An all-around win!

The state of my poor boy's health prevents me from leaving home for a night.
