“My choices are like my fingerprints, they make me unique.”

When I am told that I am a huge star, I accept it, knowing that success is relative – the films I do have to work.

It feels nice to be wanted, to be reading and hearing good things about me, so I have to push myself.

I can walk into a room with all my contemporaries and I will be very comfortable.

I have a lot of friends, but my biggest fear is loneliness. I miss my family in Mumbai, and my biggest nightmare every day is to go back home alone.

I am not very comfortable about dancing at weddings and New Year parties. Maybe it’s because of the way I have been brought up; I wouldn’t want my family to feel that cringe moment. Dance is an art for me.

To live a life that is fueled by authenticity, purpose and empathy makes me happy.

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.

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

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.

If I was given the choice between having the world back and having you, I wouldn’t be able to give you up. Not to save five billion lives.

Don’t sit as if you have nothing to say. You should be bursting with things to say. You just choose at this particular place and time, not to say them.

Choosing nonviolence does not mean that one will never get angry or become upset with others, including the ones we love.

Each of us must decide whether it is more important to be proved right or to provoke righteousness.

I’m not a filmmaker. I’m not a music producer by choice.

It is for men to choose whether they will govern themselves or be governed.

Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.

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