“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’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’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.

I have danced, sung, been a part of a reality show, and the outcome is that I am a part of ‘Batla House’ and ‘Bharat,’ which is a milestone.

I try to do nothing. I drink rosemary when I have a lot of work to do. People take coffee, they take speed, whatever. I take rosemary.

The problem with breaking up with someone, if you are a little unsure – and so often, people are unsure – is that breaking up involves persuasion.

And this is difficult if you have not entirely persuaded yourself. It is especially tricky to do this if you are also naked, and making two cups of coffee.

I still think the best classic meal in New York is a coffee-shop breakfast – you sort of can’t skip it.

I feel that I’d rather know an actors’ work, or have an instinct about them and sit down and have coffee with them, or I’ll see them in something and I’ll see if I can get along with them in some way, shape, or form.

I don’t like soccer. I think it makes you soft. And by the way, you telling me it’s the biggest whatever in the World, look, they drink tea everywhere too; they’re pussies, you understand? I want some coffee.

The coffee shop is a great New York institution, but it has terrible coffee. And the more traditional coffee shops are trying to catch up with more sophisticated coffee drinkers.

You know you’re going to get it, but it’s going to be rough.
