Quotes by Pooja Bedi
Kamasutra shaped my career in every possible way. It enhanced the whole sexism quotient that I had come with. It made me famous and infamous.
Today people remember me for 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander.' The film is the most memorable thing for me in my life.
If you have to ban something, ban products which are actually harmful for us, like cigarettes. Smoking also affects the health of people standing around you. But we won't ban such things. We're told don't eat fish, don't eat meat, don't wear miniskirts and other such things.
The only thing that I am going to miss during my stay in 'Bigg Boss' would be my two children.
People, who come to 'Bigg Boss' to look for work should not come to the show then... because you don't get work generated out of 'Bigg Boss.' I do not think anyone should use this show as a platform or as a career move because I don't think that out of this show, anyone has been given a career.
I've done multiple diploma courses and have finally amalgamated it all into what is called the 'Happy Soul' workshops.
A lot of people don't know how to pull themselves out of their rut and how to change realities. In technology, you routinely have an 'upgrade' for your phones and computers. Our personal inner software needs upgrading too.
I keep getting many offers for TV soap operas, and strangely a lot of them are mythological. None seem to be interesting enough or have the budgets that would convince me to accept them.
