Asked if she would like to star in a film based on such themes, she said, "Not, only will I star in such films, we will produce such films.That is my intention and my aim. And, currently we are engaging scripts."
Asked if film stars should ponder before endorsing aerated drinks, without naming anyone, she said, "They must consider the fact that they have a very large sphere of influence and if it is something that they know is detrimental to the health of people, they they should avoid doing it."
