“When I did my first film, I did not understand or speak Telugu.”

I try and see a silver lining in everything, A ray of light in the dark, good in the bad.

I can’t stand on the roadside and have Pani Puri like before. But, at the same time, being an actor makes you feel special. People look up to you, want to know more about you, and shower you with so much love without even knowing you personally. It’s overwhelming.

After graduating, I began auditioning for films while continuing to model. I did a few fashion shows, ad shoots, and even got a few Bollywood offers, but nothing great.

You’ve been running so fast, through endless wants that slowing down seems tough.

Happiness is a pretty simple word, you just need to know where to derive it from.

In the mornings, I use a good moisturiser and a colouring lip balm. In the evenings, though, I like to go a little glam.

Whatever you learn will never go waste. It will be beneficial for me in future.

Categorisation of actors has become outdated now.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.

Acting is not a competition; everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.

The thing about the UK is we don’t really make that many great movies.

My friends are always honest with me about films. But I really wanted to talk to regular people and kind of have a forum to interact with them; not just about films, but about everything.

I’m a fan of horror movies that have really good stories.

You can kind of judge how old a film is by the size of the cell phones.

I’d love to remain a secret and still work, but I also want people to see the movies I’m in and get a higher profile because of that. I like to think that as long as you continue choosing diverse roles, you can avoid becoming predictable.

Nicolas Cage is a great actor and he’s done some good action movies too.

I’ve turned down twentysomething million dollars for movies.
