- She told Galatta India, "Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir are extremely professional. I think both of them deserve all the trophies when it comes to professionalism. They are very, very serious about their craft and their discipline."
- She added, "Salman is Salman Khan. You can't argue with that. He's remained the same over the years, and that in itself is incredible.
