• “It seems everybody wants to dress me up. However, every time people have tried doing that, the result has drawn a lot of flak. I don’t know who to blame because I have a decent body and face.

Winning the tittle changed my life."
• “I take that as a compliment. I think Bipasha is stunning and has a great body too. But I don’t want to be the next Bipasha Basu; I want people to know me for being Tanushree Dutta."
