Jab hoga tab sochungi (Look, I'm not going to play an old woman's role. And I haven't been offered any roles that match the way I look. When I do get one, I'll think about it)," she told Instant Bollywood, adding, 'I want a role [basis] what I look. That's it."
The Aap Ki Kasam actor also spoke about the kind of roles she is looking for. 'Mujhe waise offer nahi aaye jaise mujhe chahiye, main kisi ki maa ka role karne wali nahi hoon (I haven't received the kind of offers I want; I'm not going to play someone's mother)," she said sternly, making her point before laughing it off and blowing kisses at her fans.
