“Well, let’s set the record straight because there have been a lot of rumours regarding a lot of films I am supposedly doing.

“I had always maintained, when I am offered a film, I’ll talk about it, if not, I’ll never talk about it. All the speculation can go on. The only film I am doing now is Padmavati, it’s consuming all my life. When I have something else to talk about I will do that,” she added.
