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

False stories used to affect me initially. But now, I’ve come to understand that if false stories are created, they are also forgotten in the long run.

I come from a family of working professionals: my dad is a chartered accountant, and my mom is a professor.

I am just a beginner. The two films so far are baby steps. If I develop an attitude, I’ll be finished even before I’ve started. Besides, if I started misbehaving, my folks would give me a tight slap.

I have been a little lucky to get work. I know there are people who struggle a lot to get a film; I believe a lot in destiny. Things have fallen into place for me.

I was clear about the fact that my first film should be ‘big,’ since it’s the start of your whole career graph.

Women simply need to know the right technique of shaving to get the best results.

The more successful you become, the more known you become, everything you say is minutely scrutinised a lot.

My career is too short for there to be any turns! But I would say that not everyone is noticed and accepted in their debut films. I was accepted both by the industry and the audience.

When you don’t come from a film background, getting the right debut is important and difficult, as you don’t have the sensibility to know what will work and what won’t.

It’s better to focus on one film rather than take up two or three films at the same time.

It’s sad to be constantly judged for every move you make after your first success. If you wear your hair differently, you have changed.

I had learnt Kathak for six years from the age of eight and did a foundation course from Kathak Kendra in Delhi. I was not fond of classical dance, but today, I’m glad my mom made me do it.

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.

I hear the rain fall and suddenly I don’t feel so alone because the sky is crying too.

You’re the baggage I wish I could claim.

Can I doubt the shape of the earth? Can I judge a minute for lasting sixty seconds, a day for being grey or cold and leaves for falling from trees? Can I speak too loud when I am angry or stay quiet when I disagree? Can I forget about the norms and make some of my own?

Commitment doesn’t guarantee success, but lack of commitment guarantees you’ll fall far short of your potential.

When you fall in love with a person, you don’t fall in love with their body. You fall in love with their names, their favorite places, their moments of life and much more again.

Intrigued by that enigma, he dug so deeply into her sentiments that in search of interest he found love, because by trying to make her love him he ended up falling in love with her.

Whats your greatest fear? I’m afraid of heights. Do you fear the heights in which you stand or at the depths to which you may fall? – fear of falling.

We shall awaken from our dullness and rise vigorously toward justice. If we fall in love with creation deeper and deeper, we will respond to its endangerment with passion.
