My personal life put blocks to my career
If my personal space were to help my professional sphere, I'd be very glad - but it never did. Right from the day I entered the industry, my personal life had never helped me - it had, in fact, put blocks to my career.

But the curiosity is there, it's huge. I have to start seeing someone now. How dare you be single, it's that sort of tone! I used to be scared of that word once. But the media threw it so much, so often in my face that a stage came when I actually turned around and said, all right, I'm the poster girl of being single.
Men today are only looking for mothers
Arrey yeh toh ladke hain na aaj-kal, bilkul loser type hote hain. Woh sahara dhoondte rehte hain saare time. Honestly, the quality of men, they are looking only for mothers. And sometimes you don't want to play the mother, it's really exhausting! If any guy even remotely gives me the dukhiyari vibes, I am like no, please don't call me again!
