Antara Mali

I am proud of my father's legacy, he is a truly incredible artist and has a lot of goodwill in the film and fashion industry.

I'm a private person. I am not too much of a media person also. I talk only when I want to, otherwise I retract quietly.

It's so boring to put on make-up and change clothes five times in a row for one photo shoot.

For me, glamour has nothing to do with make-up and costumes. Even the most insignificant thing can seem glamorous if viewed with the right perception!

Acting is mathematics for me. I do very little homework and rather rely on my imagination for playing a role.

While in other films I've always played a character, 'Naach' sees me playing a personality.

I don't think marriage has much to do with love.

Life is too short to exclude experiences. And that includes marriage.

Amol Palekar is my favorite actor.

'Pretty' is such a weak word.

My dad is not an alcoholic but has a chronic liver disorder along with heavy diabetes.

My parents split when I was one-year old and I haven't lived with my father since. He is a creative spirit and has always cherished his independence.

I draw a line between my personal and professional life.

Not that I want to compare myself with the great Madhubala. But in our own completely distinctive and different ways, both Anarkali in 'Mughal-e-Azam' and Rewa in 'Naach' express the essence of life through dance.

I was just moving around the globe, learning classical music and generally doing nothing. I was completely away from glitz and glamour and did not miss it at all.

I take decisions on the spur of a moment.

My man has to be passionate about his work and me. Also, he should give me my space and not keep me on my toes.

My one hour of dancing everyday keeps me in shape.

I have always been a private person.

I have known Che for seven years. We were very good friends. One fine day, he proposed. I had a gut feeling that Che was the right person and that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.

Che and I are very happy. But honestly, I used to think that I'll never get married.

I did a course in creative writing.

Besides acting, writing has been my passion for a long time.

My decision is that 'Mr. Ya Miss' will be my last film with Factory. I don't want to spend more time with something which I don't want to do.

Madhuri has certain gestures which are typical of her. Make-up and the right hairdo might make me look similar to her, but my performance needs to be up to the mark.
