“India happen to me by chance. It’s in my destiny. As soon as I landed here, it only took me 4 months to know exactly why I was here and what had destined to do here.”

I’m always very proud of Moroccan artists doing well and achieving international recognition.

Bigg Boss’ was the first time I was exposed to a situation where I had to only speak in Hindi. Prior to that, I was learning but never practising.

I really wanted to take ‘Dilbar’ to Africa and the Middle East in Arabic because it was also a perfect way to launch myself.

I was travelling a lot, during the release of ‘Dilbar,’ to various countries, and the song would be played at random places like lounges, coffee shops, streets, and I realised the song had reached levels that was beyond India.

I’d rather give one hit song than a flop film.

I am a very ambitious girl.

I don’t watch cricket very much, but of course I enjoy whenever I see the sport, especially live, because of the energy in the stadium with the fans going crazy.

It is an exciting moment in my career to be a part of a huge project like ‘Bharat.’

Performing in front of the camera is a different thing, and shooting a whole film is another.

I always wanted to participate in something where I can show my talent, my capabilities, and also reach a mass audience. Everybody watches ‘Bigg Boss.’

If a show comes and the content is great, I would never say no to acting on TV.

I never felt like an outsider in the industry.

Kamariya’ is a wonderfully composed song. The concept for the video is so fresh, and it’s unlike anything I have done before.

I am more expressive when I dance.

I’m a fan of mixing cultures together.

I don’t care about who is close to whom and who chills with whom when it suits them. I don’t have time for all that.

If you’re waiting around for something to be handed to you or win the lottery, chances are nothing is ever going to go down, you know, so you got to make it happen on your own.

Valor is of no service, chance rules all, and the bravest often fall by the hands of cowards.

Luck’s a chance, but trouble’s sure.

Using each heartbeat as a second chance.

You wonder if it is written in the stars or if it is all pure chance.

The best way to hold on to something is to pay no attention to it. The things you love too much perish. You have to treat everything with irony, especially the things you hold dear. There’s more of a chance then that they’ll survive.

Everything we did we were setting the tone for the world.

But give thanks, at least, that you still have Frost’s poems; and when you feel the need of solitude, retreat to the companionship of moon, water, hills and trees. Retreat, he reminds us, should not be confused with escape. And take these poems along for good luck!
