“When you become a pageant winner, you become a known face. So, winning a pageant helps us in making inroads into the industry.”

Now, being a model and an actor, I’m trying to learn more as my profession demands it.

Since childhood, I have wanted to become Miss Universe India, and I did. I am so grateful to God for that.

Being a model and an actress, I feel we a have a responsibility towards society.

I don’t want to play a prop in a film.

I don’t regret anything in life.

I make it a point to listen to a song before being a part of it to ensure that there is nothing offensive or downgrading.

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.

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.

I won 1,098 games, and eight national championships, and coached in four different decades. But what I see are not the numbers. I see their faces.

Climate change should be seen as the greatest challenge to face man and treated as a much bigger priority in the United Kingdom.

If I’m wrong about you, let’s face it instead of fading like tire marks swallowed by rain. Run me into the midst of a storm. Leave me to drown there.

There is snow on my face and wind in my hair and winter has nearly stolen me. But as I remember the words of our song then spring still owns a part of me.

One cannot choose how one’s life begins but one can choose to face the end with courage

Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us.

It is easy to find truth, though it is hard to face it, and harder still to follow it.

We simply must have faith in each other, faith in our ability to govern ourselves, and faith in the future of this Nation. Restoring that faith and that confidence to America is now the most important task we face.
