I won't say I am a strict mother, but discipline is important. Timing and routine are important for kids.

I am doing what I love; acting is what I love best after being a mother.

The Kapoor surname has legend, a passion for acting, respect and love attached to it. And I am very proud of that.

Today what is more important for me is performance. At the risk of sounding immodest, I have done it all - 61 movies over 12 years. But now I am looking for quality. It's easy to be a star. Now I want to be an actress.

I don't go by trends. I wear what I am comfortable in and what suits me. It is never about what is 'in' and what is 'out'. My personal sense of style spells 'comfort'.

I think it is important to be a friend to your kids. But it is also equally important to set boundaries. My mother was a strong influence, and so was my dad. My mom was my friend whom I couldn't cross.
