"I don't know about changing my perspective, because motherhood is such a glorious blessing and I am ..." — Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

What's blessed about my life is that I have been able to connect with the global audience on a regular basis. I am thankful for everybody's love, and I reciprocate that, but I also have to deliver on every occasion.

My family is my strength and my weakness.

Right now, I'm following the Buddhist principle: Smile as abuse is hurled your way and this too shall pass.

Life will take its toll on all of us. We get injured, we get old. It's really sad to try to run away from these harsh realities of life. Looks are not everything. I am not going to look beautiful all the time.
