“I like to eat in proportion, eat healthy, home-cooked food with lots of salad.”

A fan had written my name on his chest with blood once. That was not just crazy but scary, too!

I was the head girl in school and also a national level basketball player.

Now, being a model and an actor, I’m trying to learn more as my profession demands it.

Since childhood, I have wanted to become Miss Universe India, and I did. I am so grateful to God for that.

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.

Knowledge is the food of the soul.

The beauty and the scent of roses can be used as a medicine and the sun rays as a food.

Do you know what breakfast cereal is made of? It’s made of all those little curly wooden shavings you find in pencil sharpeners!

Food is a subject of conversation more spiritually refreshing even than the weather, for the number of possible remarks about the weather is limited, whereas of food you can talk on and on and on.

As long as you’re in the food business, why not make sweets?

A sandwich and a cup of coffee, and then off to violin-land, where all is sweetness and delicacy and harmony.

There is one thing more exasperating than a wife who can cook and won’t, and that’s a wife who can’t cook and will.

My weaknesses have always been food and men – in that order.
