“Having had a lived experience with mental illness, I understand the importance of emotional wellbeing.”

Naina is one of the most special films & special characters that I’ve played in recent times

I always think before I speak. I’m not the sort who will just say anything that comes to my mind. I’m a very emotional and sensitive person. But I’m also very strong and know my mind well.

If two actors have an equal creative give and take between them, it translates beautifully on the screen.

The fruit of your own hard work is the sweetest.

When you look at a person, any person, everyone has a story. Everyone has gone through something that has changed their life. Anxiety, depression and panic attacks are not signs of weakness. They are signs of trying to remain strong for way too long.

I can go round the clock without sleep.

I was born in Copenhagen, and when I was a year old, we moved to Bangalore. I was always a shy person and was happy with just a few friends and that came from my own social awkwardness. I did not know how to make conversations.

Im a shy person. I contradict my own profession, because Im an introvert in a very glamorous world.

Everything that creative people think and do is from the heart.

I am the universe. Infinite in every direction. This is my choice.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I personally feel that the Indian body type is not cut out to be size zero. I am not size zero and I don’t believe in that either.

I guess I learnt to appreciate old Hindi-movie music from my dad and somewhere down the line picked up jazz as well.

Some memories & experiences are difficult to articulate but live in your heart forever.

At some level, I feel it is nice to know that a film of yours is doing well at the box office and has also got great reviews. That feels like success.

Comic timing is something you are either born with or do not have.

Don’t use hustling as an avoidance mechanism to dismiss your emotions.

Emotions sometimes are not very reliable and they even could betray you.

Jealousy is the most destructive emotion

Reason connot defeat emotion, an emotion can only be displaced or overcome by a stronger emotion.

Don’t let your emotions be moved from left to right. Real power lies in self control.

You have to live on emotions, not on money or illusions.

The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.

Sharing your emotions with paper is so much more comforting than sharing with someone else.
