Talking about her new role as an entrepreneur, the actress said, "It is an absolute business proposition, and the best part is -- being a mother, this is something which I very well connect to. Apart from its economic viability and the unmatchable choices the site has on display, I want every mother to know about it, and make an optimum utilization of it."

The actress also talked about her film projects, her next film, Vikram Bhatt's Dangerous Ishq, which is being made in 3D, will be released in the second-half of next year.
