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

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.

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.

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

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.

If you catch me saying ‘I am a serious actor,’ I beg you to slap me.

My life is too crazy, no actor could play me.

When you think about it, we actors are kind of prostitutes. We get paid to feign attraction and love.

Most of all, I want to thank my father, up there, the man who when I said I wanted to be an actor, he said, ‘Wonderful. Just have a back-up profession like welding.’

I’m not Blockbuster Boy.

Dreaming about being an actress is more exciting than being one.

My tramp is made up of mimicry.

But I always feel that whatever I do, I could do better. I suppose it is perfectionism.
