Apart from acting what other hobbies did she pursue? “I like to read! But I don’t have the patience to read a whole novel so I prefer to read those books that have stories in them. Like recently I enjoyed reading Chitra Banerjee’s book called Arranged Marriage. I also relish reading short stories written by Jeffery Archer.” What about film magazines? How did she intend dealing with the gossip press? “It does hurt reading malicious articles especially when people know who you are. I guess I will have to learn to take things in my stride,” she smilingly concluded.
