“Destiny plays an important part, but talent and hard work is also important.”

I think every industry is a male-dominated industry. Whether it is Tollywood or Bollywood or India as a whole, it is male-dominated. We stay in India, and it has been patriarchal society.

There was a lot of pressure on me when I signed ‘Dilwale,’ and though it did not do as well in India, overseas the business was crazy despite competition from another film.

I try and see a silver lining in everything, A ray of light in the dark, good in the bad.

I can’t stand on the roadside and have Pani Puri like before. But, at the same time, being an actor makes you feel special. People look up to you, want to know more about you, and shower you with so much love without even knowing you personally. It’s overwhelming.

After graduating, I began auditioning for films while continuing to model. I did a few fashion shows, ad shoots, and even got a few Bollywood offers, but nothing great.

You’ve been running so fast, through endless wants that slowing down seems tough.

Happiness is a pretty simple word, you just need to know where to derive it from.

In the mornings, I use a good moisturiser and a colouring lip balm. In the evenings, though, I like to go a little glam.

Whatever you learn will never go waste. It will be beneficial for me in future.

Categorisation of actors has become outdated now.

Every time she’s fallen down, she’s gotten up stronger!

She felt like Poetry.

I will always choose to work in a movie based on whether I would want to watch it – if I would be willing to spend money in a theatre on it. The script and the people you will work with come after that.

Cause she owned the fire she’d become the storm.

Always keep the child within you alive! It’ll help you in shooting.

And in between a guilty laughter that pretended to move on, her eyes shed tears of reality and broke all her delusions.

Karma is about shifting responsibility from heaven to yourself. In this, you become the very maker of your own destiny.

Mind is the master weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance.

The history of a movement, the history of a nation, the history of a race is the guide-post of that movement’s destiny, that nation’s destiny, that race’s destiny.

They themselves are makers of themselves.

Karma means that you can change your destiny, not simply be ruled by it.

Consciousness is a mystery that faces the mystery of potential and transforms it into actuality. We do that with every choice we make. Our choices determine the destiny of the world. By making a choice, you alter the structure of reality.

Live the present intensely and fully, do not let the past be a burden, and let the future be an incentive. Each person forges his or her own destiny.

You were the sun that made me see that to be loved is also destined for me.
