Addressing why she doesn't write about Bollywood, Khanna said, "Bollywood is boring to me. I don’t write about it in my columns or short stories because I don’t find it interesting. I have seen it and why would I write about it. It is too familiar."

She added that she always felt like she was a misfit in the industry. "I would be knitting on the sets of my films or reading. I was never interested in fitting in," shared the 43-year-old.

Khanna continued that there was a time when she was also called a "tomboy" because people thought she talks like a man.

Discussing her film career, the Zulmi actor stated, "I have worn hideous costumes and I have said terrible lines. I have danced and done all the pelvic thrusts. But I learnt how to laugh at myself and I think that is one of the reasons why I am here. Now I hope people will forget Mela and remember me for my books."

Speaking of her book and it's correlation with the #MeToo movement, Khanna explained, "The book taps into the importance of consent and is in a way a ‘#MeToo book’."
