“I am as attached to my career as a producer as I was to my career as a...” — Saira Banu Quote

I am as attached to my career as a producer as I was to my career as an actress.

I have always said that if we had a son, he might have looked like Shah Rukh.

I always wanted to sing but was too shy to do so.

Every scene in 'Ganga Jamuna' has been spellbinding for me. I can see the film any number of times and still not be able to pinpoint a scene and say 'This is the best scene!' Every scene is perfect.

My grandmother Shahmshad Begum was an accomplished classical singer. And I'd often urge her to teach me. She would demand that I sit and practice singing with her, which I never did. But I finally did sing in Mohan Kumar Saab's 'Aman.'

It was not really a career choice that I had to make. It was something I knew right from the beginning. I had to be an actress... period.

I never meant to be an actress.

I never wanted to be a model. I never wanted to be a serious actress. I started off doing comedy. I did a stand-up comedy camp at the Laugh Factory, and I started out on Nickelodeon.

I told my parents I wanted to be an actress years before I wrapped my head around what my dad did for a living. It's not easy to explain the job of the television journalist, especially when a lot of my friends' dads had jobs that were a lot easier to explain, like a lawyer, a banker or a doctor.
