When it comes to food, I love my food, I am comfortable with my foods. I have never dieted. Never. I really enjoy food.

By virtue of my job, I am traveling. You get to spend very little time with your family. We hardly get to meet each other except on the one odd day we really get to spend time, have dinner together. And that is rare, and we cherish it.

I should be accused of bias, but worldwide currently Pa [Amitabh Bachchan] is absolutely iconic, he is celebrated, he is respected. He definitely is deservedly iconic, and I say this without any bias, and if I am accused of it so be it.

Even prior to marriage and motherhood, it is always been about prioritising and focusing on what you can commit to. That is been my approach to every aspect of my life, be it my relationships or my professional commitments.

I will not do something professionally just because someone is like, you know, this will shock people! Imagine seeing Aishwarya like this today. Please! That’s not a good enough reason.

It is unbelievable that people have the time and inclination to be as negative as they are on a public platform about people who accomplish whatever they do in the public eye.

Even in Indian cinema, there is so much work that I have accepted because I am comfortable and so much I have declined because I have not been comfortable.

I am really OK with the way I look. It is fine. All this is transient. I mean, it is really, you know, it changes with time, and that is the external.

I have always been a person who is extremely comfortable in my skin. I have always just been myself in all these years on the public platform.

The day I got married and I had a husband and in-laws in my life, my parents did not cease to be remotely less important or less my priority.

I just take on what I can commit to completely at that point in time, and that way you will be able to give your best.

I know for a fact that if there is a role which I am suited for I will be signed on. I will never go begging.

Despite being in showbiz, I have a very real approach to my life. It plays off with my social life.

I really do not work to a plan, but I just do what interests me and what I like to do.

For me, it is not about breaking big in Hollywood, but having interesting experiences.

God has given me plenty of reasons to smile and I feel it is time to spread it around.

My reason for choosing a film is not to impress people. I do not choose films for the box office.

We are Bachchans for all seasons and my name is not Khan!

I have a great story to tell and I tell it well. No holds barred.
