“I think I’m an old soul, That believes in the idea of true love and royalty, loves old songs, looks for real in the world full of pretence.”

As long as you still like the person you wake up as, and you understand the one you see in the mirror. You’ll find peace in any storm.

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.

I believe that anyone with a bit of guidance can act.

I’m just a girl, With a dream that got the best of me, In a world that believes fame is everything.

Refusal to believe until proof is given is a rational position; denial of all outside of our own limited experience is absurd.

I believe when your children are born that you are reborn in some fashion.

If you believe in yourself anything is possible.

Anytime you’re with somebody, you become a reflection of that person. I believe the first five years of our relationship was me grooming her, getting her tough and getting her ready for all of this and how to deal with it. The last was just her being a strong Black woman who has her man’s back.

Ask once, believe you have received, and all you have to do to receive is feel good.

Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
