02/11On her pregnancy journey
"Every pregnancy and every mother's journey with her child during those nine months and afterwards is different. You can't draw parallels. No one out there really knows me or what I am feeling at a given time. How can anyone decide on my behalf whether I am supposed to feel depressed or if I can step out before 45 days?"

03/11On the new phase of her life
"It's the beginning of a new phase in my life. I'm learning new things every passing day. I agree that very often, pregnant women are seen as ticking time bombs, but that perception never bothered me. I generally do things that I want to do and enjoy. Everyone has an opinion in India, especially when it concerns women."

04/11On resuming work post motherhood
"Yes, I was on my feet a few days after the delivery, but it's upsetting to have people judge you for it. No one has the right to comment on how I conduct myself or what sort of a mother I am. Everyone seems to have an opinion."
05/11On the controversy surrounding Taimur's name
"When we named our son Taimur, everyone in the country suddenly turned into a historian, philosopher and scientist. Everyone seemed to know the meaning of the name, and the supposed history behind it. They even suggested alternate names for my baby. How is my baby's name anyone's business?"
06/11On the 'type of mother' that she will be!
"What kind of a mother I am is something that will unfold with time. I will not scream from rooftops about experiencing motherhood or how much I love Taimur. There's always the pressure of being judged, no matter what you do. It's about how you deal with it."
07/11On her relationship with her mother
"To this day, my mother yells at me and I take it. However old I may be, I am still her daughter. I am still her baby. The relationship between a child and a mother cannot be put into words. It cannot be explained and it can't be questioned."
08/11On falling in love
"I think no conditions apply on who you love. It doesn't matter who he is, which community he belongs to and what he does, as long as you love the man and he loves you too. There are no barriers there and that applies to the men, too. Love for men and women, should surpass everything else."

09/11On working after marriage
"A lot of people had told me not to get married because they thought no one would work with me, or associate with me as a leading lady. But I followed my gut and got married. And look, I did better work after marriage, which I am proud of. So, follow your instinct, it never misguides."

10/11On being bounded by age
"In other countries, women are relatively free to choose, but why is it such a big deal in India? It's only in our country that people make a hue and cry about a woman's marriage and babies. I don't believe that there's an age earmarked for anything."
