"I am just an average woman with average concerns."

Aishwarya Rai

"My family is my strength and my weakness."

"Beauty is transient and changes with time."

"I do not believe in proving a point to anybody. Nobody is that important."

"I like to be human and not lose myself in becoming a mannequin, which people in showbiz are accused of."

"Elegance is innate, individual, eternal, it stands the test of time!"

"It is nice to be important, but it is more more important to be nice."

"No one is perfect and everyone is different, but everyone is beautiful in their own way and that is what makes us special."

"I dont know why beauty is attached only to women. I dont believe it is gender specific or even species specific."

"Right now, I am following the Buddhist principle: Smile as abuse is hurled your way and this too shall pass."
