“I come from a family of working professionals: my dad is a chartered accountant, and my mom is a professor.”

Categorisation of actors has become outdated now.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.

I want to be the black and white moment that flashes in front of your eyes, when you hum your favorite tune; your soul song.

My whole career has been fulfilling my childhood fantasies, playing characters that are larger than life, getting to play a knight, an elf, a prince, and a soldier.

In my early years, there were a number of experiences that made me decide I could not afford the luxury of just being an actress. There were a number of issues I wanted to address. And I wanted to use my career as a platform.

There was a time in my career when I felt like I wasn’t being true to myself. I was being moulded into an artist I wasn’t, and I knew I had to do everything I wanted to do. I think that’s an issue a lot of women face, and men do have it easier in a lot of ways.

Now, I am perfectly willing to just enjoy my career by choosing roles simply because I consider them to be a challenge and doing the best possible job I can.

I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.

I’m very much focused on my career.

If you’re not still learning and growing as an actor, then you have no backbone and no career.

Listen, if my career was to end tomorrow, I would have no complaints whatsoever.
