Quotes by the artist
- I learnt not to trust people easily and also learnt that Indians are not really used to reality TV. They will forgive people playing games in monopoly or chess but not on a reality show. Come on, let’s grow up.
- Even as a man, I look sexier than any other man.
- We all have seen Madhuri Dixit’s hit dance numbers and we can’t forget the contribution Saroj Khan added to them.
- I am not a manipulative person.
- Love and hate are two of the strongest emotions.
- I’m tired of telling people what Bollywood is.
- What’s the big deal in doing a topless shoot provided it’s done in good taste? Our temples too have topless figures carved on them.
- I am a brat by nature and I don’t repent what I do.
