“Her eyes were deep and honest and they never changed. That’s kind of love she craved for.”

The more successful you become, the more known you become, everything you say is minutely scrutinised a lot.

My career is too short for there to be any turns! But I would say that not everyone is noticed and accepted in their debut films. I was accepted both by the industry and the audience.

When you don’t come from a film background, getting the right debut is important and difficult, as you don’t have the sensibility to know what will work and what won’t.

It’s better to focus on one film rather than take up two or three films at the same time.

It’s sad to be constantly judged for every move you make after your first success. If you wear your hair differently, you have changed.

I had learnt Kathak for six years from the age of eight and did a foundation course from Kathak Kendra in Delhi. I was not fond of classical dance, but today, I’m glad my mom made me do it.

I think every industry is a male-dominated industry. Whether it is Tollywood or Bollywood or India as a whole, it is male-dominated. We stay in India, and it has been patriarchal society.

There was a lot of pressure on me when I signed ‘Dilwale,’ and though it did not do as well in India, overseas the business was crazy despite competition from another film.

I try and see a silver lining in everything, A ray of light in the dark, good in the bad.

I can’t stand on the roadside and have Pani Puri like before. But, at the same time, being an actor makes you feel special. People look up to you, want to know more about you, and shower you with so much love without even knowing you personally. It’s overwhelming.

After graduating, I began auditioning for films while continuing to model. I did a few fashion shows, ad shoots, and even got a few Bollywood offers, but nothing great.

You’ve been running so fast, through endless wants that slowing down seems tough.

Happiness is a pretty simple word, you just need to know where to derive it from.

In the mornings, I use a good moisturiser and a colouring lip balm. In the evenings, though, I like to go a little glam.

Whatever you learn will never go waste. It will be beneficial for me in future.

Categorisation of actors has become outdated now.

Its a rather pleasant change when all your life you’ve had people looking after you, to have someone to look after yourself. Only of course it has to be someone pretty hopeless to need looking after by me.

Now naturally, like many of us, I have a reluctance to change too much of the old ways.

Never marry with the expectation of changing a person.

Gratitude bestows reverence…..changing forever how we experience life and the world.

The world is always in movement.

Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure.

Can’t say it often enough — change your hair, change your life.

The chilly morning breeze wakes me this whiff of fall is so welcoming, my soul craves the changing leaves along with the toasty seasonal drinks while I am wrapped in my blanket basking in warm, sweet dreams.
