Quotes

  • Also, I use facial masks diligently. I use at least two a day - one for moisturizing and one for whitening. I think I go through at least 600 sheets of facial masks every year.
  • I always carry lip balm and lipstick. Lipstick is a very important beauty product because I find that lips are the most beautiful feature of anyone's face.
  • Awards are not the only markers of success; I don't judge myself just based on them. I believe that each cinema-goer has his own mental trophies.
  • I have nothing to explain. As for being misunderstood, I have grown accustomed to that.
  • I am a very frank person and that's how I hope to remain. What you see is what you get.
