The magazine called her the " First Lady of Bollywood".[10] Priya Tanna, Editor Vogue India wrote:" That she is stylish, enigmatic, and poised is known, but at the shoot we saw another side of her. Even in the frames she shares with Shah Rukh, she holds her own impressively." She also walked the ramp alongside her husband for filmmaker turned fashion designer Karan Johar at the HDIL India Couture Week 2009.[11]
She has only done one television and print commercial for the home furnishings brand, D’décor along with her husband.
