“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 am enjoying myself and I do not mind the loss of personal time and family time when I am doing good films.

When I am told that I am a huge star, I accept it, knowing that success is relative – the films I do have to work.

It feels nice to be wanted, to be reading and hearing good things about me, so I have to push myself.

I can walk into a room with all my contemporaries and I will be very comfortable.

I have a lot of friends, but my biggest fear is loneliness. I miss my family in Mumbai, and my biggest nightmare every day is to go back home alone.

I am not very comfortable about dancing at weddings and New Year parties. Maybe it’s because of the way I have been brought up; I wouldn’t want my family to feel that cringe moment. Dance is an art for me.

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.

You will come to know that what appears today to be a sacrifice will prove instead to be the greatest investment that you will ever make.

For me, I like to be a little bit tomboy but still look like a lady. Pretty tough. Or really, really, really pretty.

I would never pose topless.

I love making shorts out of jeans, or customizing denim. Basically, I like to rip and distress things… I love that look.

I was so skinny, they gave me the nickname stechetto – the stick. I was tall, thin, ugly and dark like an Arab girl. I looked strange. All eyes. No flesh on my bones.

I’m not a big guy anyway. I’m only, what, 150 pounds? I was 190 for ‘Batman,’ 179 for ‘Warrior.’ Films make you look big.

I feel I can still do the same job as I did 10 years ago – I’ve just got a few more wrinkles!

For some odd reason, I like a man in sweatsuits. Obviously, you want your man to look good in a suit, but I like when men look comfortable, and the swagger just stands out of that.
