Don’t know about Ranbir Kapoor, but we are still smitten by Mahira Khan. In a recent interview with Pakistani talk show host Samina Peerzada, Mahira spilled a good amount of quotable quotes. Here’s a sampling…

“The price of wisdom is innocence”
Speaking about controversies, she said, “This is my first bout with controversy. I never knew this can also happen. There were film-related controversies earlier but I never experienced controversies related to my personal life. These controversies make you understand that you are vulnerable. Your vulnerability is someone’s money for the day. The price of wisdom is innocence. So, I have definitely become wiser but sadly a little less innocent.”

“Criticism pushes me to do better”
Criticism – and she has faced a good chunk of it – does not bring Mahira down. “I have dealt with criticism from my first drama and I think that is a part of our profession. It brings me down but definitely pushes me to do better.”

“I can even romanticise a door opening and closing”
None of the knocks she might have taken have robbed her of her romantic spirit and zest for life. “Life is such a beautiful thing,” she says. “When you sit for a moment during the day and live that particular moment, everything seems perfect. I romanticise every moment of my life and that is why I have fallen in love with life. I can even romanticise a door opening and closing!”

“I hope I fall in love again”
Speaking about love she clarified, “No, I am not in love. But I have been in love earlier. I have realised now that love is peace. Love is when you are with somebody and you do not necessarily need to talk because their presence is enough. For now, peace for me is putting Mohammad Rafi’s songs on and sitting with a cup of tea.” She does not rule out finding love again. “I might and I hope that I fall in love again because I have experienced it and it is just so good!”

Adorable, ain’t she?
