“Women should not let anybody take them for a ride. If they face such things, they should talk about it.”

Being a model and an actress, I feel we a have a responsibility towards society.

I don’t want to play a prop in a film.

I don’t regret anything in life.

I make it a point to listen to a song before being a part of it to ensure that there is nothing offensive or downgrading.

I have a very schoolish approach to acting. I like to do my homework, know more about the character, and study it. It’s all about the craft.

I don’t really pay a lot of attention to trolls.

Coming back to Delhi is always special. This is the place I’d started my journey from and became independent. Be it my career or my education, I learnt everything about life from this city, and it has made me who I am today.

Word hark, be kind, and good things will happen for sure.

I am very choosy about making event appearances and endorsing brands because, as actors, we have to be very responsible.

Since I started my career very early, I have gone through the rigmarole of experiencing successes and failures.

I am a workout freak.

My mom loves saris, and when I was a child, she told me ‘a girl looks good in an Indian traditional outfit.’ So, somehow it stayed in my head, and I really enjoy Indian wear.

I think imparting sex education to children is important.

It doesn’t matter if you are a man or woman; you need to stand up for yourself. If you have been abused, you deserve justice.

When people appreciate my work, that’s satisfying as an artiste.

I do not believe in starving myself.

One man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face.

For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those that do evil.

When we turn pro we stop running from our fears. We turn around and face them.

We must be willing to encounter darkness and despair when they come up and face them, over and over again if need be, without running away or numbing ourselves in the thousands of ways we conjure up to avoid the unavoidable.

It is easier to gaze into the sun, than into the face of the mystery of God. Such is its beauty and its radiance.

Her angel’s face, As the great eye of heaven shined bright, And made a sunshine in the shady place.

I cried today and I cried yesterday, Salty tears rushing down. My face fastened breaths, palms in sweat and the unbearable guilt of my being.

We each need to make our lion’s roar – to persevere with unshakable courage when faced with all manner of doubts and sorrows and fears – to declare our right to awaken.
