Payal Rohatgi Quotes

This whole celebrity racket, it's not really my bag. I don't really do that stuff, and I am not looking to get famous myself.

I'm an actress, not a celebrity.

For me, I don't have a publicist. I don't want to talk about my personal life. I don't want to talk about my process. I don't want to be a model and do fashion shoots. It's nice to be an entertainer, but I'm a reluctant celebrity.

All I do is give interviews and spend time being photographed.

I'm not a pop star.
