“I have always been a person who is extremely comfortable in my skin. I have always just been myself in all these years on the public platform.”

For me, it’s not about breaking big in Hollywood, but having interesting experiences.

Right now, I’m following the Buddhist principle: Smile as abuse is hurled your way and this too shall pass.

Sexy in India is not considered positive. But, with today’s crop of fresh faces in the modelling arena, being sexy is an asset.

My biggest concern is always the students who are working toward a certain career – when they limit themselves to just that one option. They need to know that the world is huge – it’s an ocean, and there are so many options. It’s not the end of the world if they don’t get to pursue an apparent childhood dream.

I know for a fact that if there’s a role which I am suited for, I’ll be signed on. I’ll never go begging.

Strangely, nothing makes me feel tired, fatigued, at all. I’ve gone days and nights without sleep, and still the mind is in such a positive space it just doesn’t make you feel fatigued.

Elegance is innate, individual, eternal, it stands the test of time!

Do we recognize the platform that Indian cinema has been given? Of course. And typically India of us, we gracefully acknowledge our host’s grace and we thank you for celebrating us and our cinema.

My family is my strength and my weakness.

Despite being in showbiz, I have a very real approach to my life. It plays off with my social life.

Even in India the Hindi film industry might be the best known but there are movies made in other regional languages in India, be it Tamil or Bengali. Those experiences too are different from the ones in Bombay.

I don’t believe in proving a point to anybody. Nobody is that important.

I just take on what I can commit to completely at that point in time, and that way you’ll be able to give your best.

The more you are blessed with experience, the fuller and the more enriched you are in your craft.

I always believed that my silence on several topics will be an advantage in the long run.

I’m not the type who’ll yell about my achievements from the rooftops.

I take great comfort in knowing that there are even better versions of myself I haven’t hugged yet.

One cannot deny that in former times man’s life had been one of toil and hardship. It is correct to say, therefore, that modern civilization and the progress of science have greatly improved man’s life and have brought comfort and ease in their trail.

When we are young, we are slavishly employed in procuring something whereby we may live comfortably when we grow old; and when we are old, we perceive it is too late to live as we proposed.

Everyone needs to get more comfortable with female leaders-including female leaders themselves.

Most of us seldom take the trouble to think. It is a troublesome and fatiguing process and often leads to uncomfortable conclusions.

Whenever it feels uncomfortable to tell the truth, that’s often the most important time to tell it.

Sometimes the rewards of risk don’t leave us wrecked. Sometimes we find our passion, our purpose, courage, connection, and comfort. Every good thing in our lives is a direct result of risk.

The Internet has become my enabler. It keeps me from stillness and discomfort, and this keeps me from growing.
