I realised some Lazio fans were making monkey noises whenever I touched the ball. It is impossible to know what you are supposed to do in this moment. There were times when I wanted to walk off the pitch to make a point, but then I told myself that this is exactly what they want.
I think that if something’s really good, and it touches that part of their heart that has been untouched, or maybe it has been touched but they never wanted to admit it, I think that when they get back to that, I think that we are still in a place that people enjoy it the way it’s supposed to be enjoyed.
I was really touched when I reached the sets of ‘Padmaavat’ and I greeted Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He hugged me, held my hand high and told everyone, ‘Razasaab is with us again. I cannot think of a film without Razasaab!’ That was such a big compliment for me.

People in India like to touch a lot. It’s not very nice for any girl to be touched by strangers wherever they want. You wouldn’t do that to your sister or mother, but just because one is an actor, they think she is your property.

I think when you’re a fan of music – at least the way I’ve been a fan to artists that have really touched me – you’re with them for the long haul.

It is the mind which creates the world around us, and even though we stand side by side in the same meadow, my eyes will never see what is beheld by yours, my heart will never stir to the emotions with which yours is touched.
