The actress, known for her roles in films like "Jab We Met," stressed that she has always been clear about maintaining her independence as an actor, even after marrying actor Saif Ali Khan. "I always wanted to have my own independence as an actor, even after I got married to Saif. That was one thing which was very, very clear," she stated.
