What are the movies that Saif likes you most in?
He’d be the best to answer this but I think it’ll be Omkara and Jab We Met. Saif doesn’t watch too many Hindi movies. I don’t think he watches his own films.

What’s it like working with Aamir Khan in 3 Idiots?
Well, the journey is still on. It’s a dream come true to work with Aamir and Rajkumar Hirani. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime combination and I’m happy to be a part of this special film.

Recently, you and Saif went on record to say you felt our ex-boyfriend, Shahid Kapur, was using you both for publicity and that you wished he would move on.
This whole issue has been blown out of proportion. I shared some wonderful moments with Shahid and both Saif and I wish him well. Saif respects my past but there are times when we get upset with all that is written or insinuated about us. I’ll always cherish my memories with Shahid but that chapter of my life is over and I’ve turned the page. I hope the media does that as well. My heart is clean.

Are all those reports of catfights with Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra true?
I’m extremely fond of Katrina. She’s always been very nice to me. Ditto with PC who is very friendly whenever we meet on social occasions. I don’t know how and why this media war between us is being reported. There has never been an issue with both of them, or with Ash (Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan).
Everyone is here to work and everyone is happy in her own zone. In the last three years, I took a conscious decision to not compete with any other heroine. I only compete with myself and want to raise my own bar.
I’ve stopped reading newspapers and watching TV channels because I don’t want to be a part of all this. I’m a very passionate and focused girl and I’ve a life to live. I don’t care what the gossip mills are churning out. I travel the world when I’m not working. I don’t care who is doing what.
