There was a place I visited in Lahore that felt to me like old Delhi, and I'm sure Pakistanis who come from Lahore to Delhi feel the same.

An artiste's input, her ability to create dimensions within the given space is very important.

I come from a background where we have been taught to give back to the society, as it is an obligation for all of us.

There are some women who have made some really hurting remarks about my relationship with my husband Himanshu Malhotra. They even dared to ask me if I have divorced him just because I don't put my pictures with him too often. Now that is really ridiculous!

My former wife is a very eccentric woman, which is why I still love her.
