“I hope I get an opportunity to work with Akshay Kumar and Prabhu Deva, as they are very supportive people.”

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.

Today we have the economic collapse that the whole planet is suffering, but there is hope, and that’s what’s going to keep us moving ahead.

He was the hope that died with the last day of summer.

As long as I try, there’s always a chance of getting up. It’s not the end until you give up.

I will heal and Oh what a day that will be.
