“Since childhood, I was ingrained into sports. It plays an important part in my life.”

I have a very schoolish approach to acting. I like to do my homework, know more about the character, and study it. It’s all about the craft.

I don’t really pay a lot of attention to trolls.

Coming back to Delhi is always special. This is the place I’d started my journey from and became independent. Be it my career or my education, I learnt everything about life from this city, and it has made me who I am today.

Word hark, be kind, and good things will happen for sure.

I am very choosy about making event appearances and endorsing brands because, as actors, we have to be very responsible.

Since I started my career very early, I have gone through the rigmarole of experiencing successes and failures.

I am a workout freak.

My mom loves saris, and when I was a child, she told me ‘a girl looks good in an Indian traditional outfit.’ So, somehow it stayed in my head, and I really enjoy Indian wear.

I think imparting sex education to children is important.

It doesn’t matter if you are a man or woman; you need to stand up for yourself. If you have been abused, you deserve justice.

When people appreciate my work, that’s satisfying as an artiste.

I do not believe in starving myself.

Gujaratis are really cute people, and I find Gujarati to be a very sweet language.

I never thought of becoming an actress, but I always dreamt of winning a beauty pageant, and I achieved that.

Running is something that I have been doing from a long time, and hence, it is very important to me.

Modelling has given me so much confidence.

All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.

My memories of camp – I was four years old to eight years old – they’re fond memories.

Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.

We all have a childhood dream that when there is love, everything goes like silk, but the reality is that marriage requires a lot of compromise.

Genius is the recovery of childhood at will.

I started writing poetry when I was six. I had this teacher who didn’t believe the poems I’d bring in were mine because they were dark and sad. But I wrote about what I experienced in my childhood.

My whole career has been fulfilling my childhood fantasies, playing characters that are larger than life, getting to play a knight, an elf, a prince, and a soldier.

Many of our deepest motives come, not from an adult logic of how things work in the world, but out of something that is frozen from childhood.
