“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.”

People have started recognising me. I can’t move around as freely as I used to.

It breaks my heart to know so many children in our country do not have access to education.

Hug me like the wind does healing my heart, calming my soul, while it wraps every inch of me. Caressing my hair, it gives me goosebumps, as it whispers something that takes my breath away.

I auditioned for quite a lot of films. I do not wish to name the films I auditioned for. There were times when I knew I would not be fit for this film, or I would not get this film. Still, I used to audition for it just to get experience… to practice.

After a point, it doesn’t matter where you come from. There are many star kids who haven’t done well in the industry and rank newcomers who have done amazingly well.

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.

Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively impose domination over others. Help a friend.

The loving personality seeks not to control, but to nurture, not to dominate, but to empower.

The Democratic Party was always there on crime, but in the past we let the ideologues on the left dominate. The Republicans may still let the ideologues on the right dominate.

Company culture is the backbone of any successful organization.

The person who can dominate during rough times is the person who can dominate, period.

I am a perfectionist. This job is a total ego thing in a way. To be a designer and say, ‘This is the way they should dress; this is the way their homes should look; this is the way the world should be.’ But then, that’s the goal: world domination through style.

Those traits that pass into hybrid association entirely or almost entirely unchanged, thus themselves representing the traits of the hybrid, are termed dominating and those that become latent in the association, recessive.

ART is domination. It’s making people think that for that precise moment in time there is only one way, one voice. Yours.
