“If you don’t come from film family, it takes time for people to register you. When you don’t come from film family, the connection with the audience takes time to build up; it happens eventually.”

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

Categorisation of actors has become outdated now.

Every time she’s fallen down, she’s gotten up stronger!

She felt like Poetry.

I will always choose to work in a movie based on whether I would want to watch it – if I would be willing to spend money in a theatre on it. The script and the people you will work with come after that.

Cause she owned the fire she’d become the storm.

Always keep the child within you alive! It’ll help you in shooting.

And in between a guilty laughter that pretended to move on, her eyes shed tears of reality and broke all her delusions.

I’m not much involved in sports, and I don’t play, either.

I started modelling while still studying. I liked doing television commercials and being in front of the camera. Lots of ad directors told me to try for films.

The title ‘Dohchay’ is very perfect for the film. It is used very well in the title track. If you see the film, you will understand it.

I could not make mistakes while choosing films when I started out.

My mom keeps khabar of everything, so I don’t feel lonely.

I feel that modelling has groomed my personality and made me a confident person, but even today, when I go on the ramp, I get nervous. I am more comfortable being in front of the camera than walking on the ramp.

So hold onto what calms your soul, for everything is temporary, hang by the moments that feel alive uncomplicate and just BE.

I have declined projects made under big banners because I didn’t have much to do in them.

Audiences and, to a large extent, critics who want less from theater than it is possible for it to give. If everybody’s encouraged to want less, you’ll end up with less.

An audience is always warming but it must never be necessary to your work.

Curiosity provoked me to lay a lot of our country stuff on our predominantly black audience and some of our black audience began whispering “who is that black hillbilly at the Cosmo?”

Theater is like boxing – having the audience ringside. It’s instant gratification. Or horrification.

If the people in the audience are talking, you’re being ignored. If the people are gazing at you, you’ve got something they want to hear.

There’s music that can affect people in their lives, and they will always relate to the point that they heard it and experienced it, either if you’re playing it or you’re receptive, as an audience.

I don’t think anyone ever gets over the surprise of how differently one audience’s reaction is from another.

I look at an audience kind of like meeting my in-laws for the first time. You want to be yourself, but you still want to be somebody that they like. When I go on the stage each night, I try my best to outguess my audience.
