"When I was a teenager, I was so much in love with Salman Khan that I had his posters all over my room. I used to write to my sister in New York that I had a crush on an actor who has just debuted in a film called Maine Pyar Kiya. In fact, I don''t regret doing my first film with the Khan camp. I loved working with them."
"The shooting of my next film with Buddhadev Dasgupta will start very soon and I am honoured that Dada has again considered me for his next film"
"I derive job satisfaction from doing Bangla movies."
"Post-Darna Mana Hai, I was offered similar kinds of roles which were stereotyped. But I didn’t bite the bait. Now, I want to experiment with different roles, so that critics can call me a complete actor."
"I change my phone every month depending on the features."
"I love car racing and action-packed ones. After a long day, playing games on my Playstation energises me a lot"
"Sushama has her own film career going and Meghna is in Greece. We never discuss work when we meet. But they’re very supportive and protective about me. As for my parents, they are proud of our achievements and always encourage us,"
"I live each day as it comes and every day I set new goals. Acting is very stimulating and I believe that if you’re happy with the work you’re doing, it’s an overwhelming feeling."
"I don't want to be just a commercial success, and get stuck doing certain kind of roles. I am looking for more."
"They love me. I can vary my look -- from being very Indian to very sexy. It's all about balancing the two"
"Basically I am very shy. But being a kathak dancer, I am trained to be convincing in adaas -- that's why I can play any role with great conviction."
"I've never done films for the sake of doing them and that's what keeps me fresh and exclusive. You won't see me everywhere,"
"I hated putting on lipstick and my sisters were like two glam dolls. Today, I am obsessed with make-up and I am a shopaholic. So my sisters say they've created a monster! I must have every product or outfit that I see in a magazine."
"If a kissing scene if it had to be done again, with someone from Hollywood, It will have to be Mel Gibson"
"I am like the baby of the house. My sisters really pamper me and are very protective about me. We never discuss work at home. Sushma and I are at different levels. We choose different roles. So I don't see us acting together in future."
"Sameera doesn't quite agree with Sunny's reclusive image. "I don't think Sunny is shy and reclusive. He is one of the cutest co-stars I've ever had. He used to crack jokes at 5.00 a.m. when we all were drained out."
"It's an honour to be associated with someone like Buddhadev Dasgupta. His sense of vision is just so amazing and he's got the best out of me. I gave up my Diwali and worked extremely hard. I'm glad my sincerity paid off. I went to Kolkata, learnt Bengali and actually saw how the women draped cotton saris there,"
"In Naksha I play a TV presenter, a city bred girl who lands up in a jungle with two guys. I had to get physically fit for this character. I learnt horse riding, river rafting and sword fighting."
