“I’ve stopped taking myself seriously because now I understand how fickle my thoughts are.”

I never think about what people will think when they watch me on screen.

I am not bothered with whether my characters are conventional or not. Because I am not in this for the designer labels and the autographs.

I think people generally are lost, as they keep thinking about what is going to happen and what they have done. They are not alive anymore. The art of listening is missing. In their head, they are doing something else.

We should never forget the inevitable, as we will lose everything eventually. So, why fret over any kind of security? The idea is to just fly and experience it all while it lasts.

I am learning the importance of living in the moment.

Money was a big differentiator when I was growing up, but I made sure it doesn’t stay that way.

I am not saying that those who crave for conventional stardom are wrong in their aspirations. But that’s not what I want.

I am not lost. I am very much alive.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is the best actor because his choice of roles are so diametrically opposite from each other, and he pulls it off almost every time so convincingly.

I experienced a lot of things while I was working with Dibakar Banerjee.

I love layering with great fitting jackets.

It’s cruel to compare two actors working with two different filmmakers on two different characters.

Everybody is in a hurry to decode you in a certain way, and then they expect you to adhere to their definition. How can they possibly do that when you yourself are finding it hard to discover yourself?

When I am in front of the camera or on stage, I am not me.

The best thing is to accept the circumstances, not take them personally, deal with them, stop complaining, and give everything your best.

I despise women wearing too much makeup. It hides their actual beauty.

The storm starts, when the drops start dropping When the drops stop dropping then the storm starts stopping.

When you stop doing things for fun you might as well be dead.

If you’ve heard this story before, don’t stop me, because I’d like to hear it again.

Successful people, in all callings, never stop acquiring specialized knowledge related to their major purpose, business, or profession.

Don’t stop now. Continue to work on yourself and your dream.

Would you please please please please please please please stop talking?

When we stop growing, life gives us a challenge to make us grow.

If you can’t stop thinking about it, don’t stop working on it.
