“At some level, I feel it is nice to know that a film of yours is doing well at the box office and has also got great reviews. That feels like success.”

To live a life that is fueled by authenticity, purpose and empathy makes me happy.

Naina is one of the most special films & special characters that I’ve played in recent times

I always think before I speak. I’m not the sort who will just say anything that comes to my mind. I’m a very emotional and sensitive person. But I’m also very strong and know my mind well.

If two actors have an equal creative give and take between them, it translates beautifully on the screen.

The fruit of your own hard work is the sweetest.

When you look at a person, any person, everyone has a story. Everyone has gone through something that has changed their life. Anxiety, depression and panic attacks are not signs of weakness. They are signs of trying to remain strong for way too long.

I can go round the clock without sleep.

I was born in Copenhagen, and when I was a year old, we moved to Bangalore. I was always a shy person and was happy with just a few friends and that came from my own social awkwardness. I did not know how to make conversations.

Im a shy person. I contradict my own profession, because Im an introvert in a very glamorous world.

Everything that creative people think and do is from the heart.

I am the universe. Infinite in every direction. This is my choice.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I personally feel that the Indian body type is not cut out to be size zero. I am not size zero and I don’t believe in that either.

I guess I learnt to appreciate old Hindi-movie music from my dad and somewhere down the line picked up jazz as well.

Some memories & experiences are difficult to articulate but live in your heart forever.

Comic timing is something you are either born with or do not have.

What I like most about track is the feeling I get after a good run.

Don’t keep your head turned backwards. Look ahead and move on. You are trying to walk forward with your head turned backward. This is why you feel miserable. Just let go!

I am tired of not writing to you about how powerful it is, when you don’t need to feel beautiful to know that you are.

MY REGRETS ARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE I COULDN’T SAVE—Marines, soldiers, my buddies. I still feel their loss. I still ache for my failure to protect them.

My eyes saw you, but damn, did my soul feel you.

The Indians kept increasing in numbers until it was estimated that we were fighting from 800 to 1,000 of them.

I know one day I’ll be irrelevant. No matter how hard you try there is a cultural moment, but eventually that window’s gone, your time on Earth is finished, and you might as well leave. I could absolutely die tomorrow – I would not care. I feel like I’ve lived, I feel like I’ve had a great life.

Playing for Hyderabad Hunters is a very good feeling.
