So, I remember, I used to really idolise them. But if you ask me, my most favorite person in the world is my son. He is my most favorite.”
On her divorce with Arbaaz

That doesn’t mean I have lost faith in love, or that I made a huge mistake.”Elaborating further, she added, “People forget that it’s okay to put yourself first. I needed to be happy before I could make anyone else happy. I wasn’t happy, and people said, ‘What a selfish decision,’ but I did what felt right.
