What Bollywood stars actually mean when they say...

Have trouble reading between the lines? Have heard a particular answer from Bollywood stars one time too many? Here's what some of these stock answers actually mean.

We were caught off-guard recently when Sonakshi Sinha, often berated for her regressive and painfully repetitive roles in almost all her films, revealed that her next film will be a woman-centric story.

But don't Sona and her contemporaries have ready answers to certain difficult and uncomfortable questions?

So when she says a woman-centric film, does she actually mean, 'This time, I play REALLY hard to get while the chauvinist, egotist, reeking-of-entitlement hero stalks and harasses me in order to win my affection?'

While that's some food for thought right there for you, we try to decode some more jaded answers.

Take a look!

What they say: 'I will never wear a bikini or kiss onscreen...'

What they forget to add: '...unless the money is rrrreally good.'
