Back in the day, I'd never worn a bikini; the household that I came from didn't have that culture in Delhi. But when I moved to Bombay and lived alone, I'd wear a bikini in my bathroom, stand in front of the mirror, and feel happy; there were no mobile phones then. That, too, is romance. Romancing yourself. But feeling good has no age limit."

But when he did, I told him — don't even tell me what my role is, I'll do it. That's how much I wanted to work with him, especially after Life in a… Metro."
