“It is a common perception that actors don’t get along.”

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.

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.

This created world really helped me as an actor. It heightened everything, which made it more dangerous, more interesting and more liberating.

That’s your job as the actor, to understand the human part of the character, to make it real.

It’s what I learn from the great actors that I work with. Stillness. That’s all and that’s the hardest thing.

I want to be the greatest actor that ever lived, frankly. I’d love that. But I don’t need to be. I just want to be here. That’s it.

I love directing, I really do. The whole concept of being in control of a presentation, particularly a movie or a show where you’re dealing with actors and crew.

I would never be a television presenter. It’s not something I could ever do.

I like to be able to play a character and act out a lot of things which I can’t or don’t do in my normal everyday life.
