Disha Patani
I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not, but I'm not a very competitive person.
I was more of a commercial model. I wasn't into ramp walks or photo shoots.
My daily routine is set: I wake up and go for gymnastics, then dance class, gym, and come back home. That's my life. I am very boring.
I was so shy, I didn't have friends 'til 16 or something.
I could never imagine myself acting in front of a camera or doing anything in front of the camera. I was a very shy girl.
I got the opportunity, and I grabbed it, and slowly, I started finding a lot of interest in acting.
I think I am very anti-social.
I think I am lucky enough to be getting this chance also that people want to know about me. I don't want to complain over it.
I don't have newspapers in my house. I have a news application which only gives me important news, no Bollywood. So even if there is some report about me, I don't know.
I am fine because somebody's opinion can't become my reality.
I grew up with a sister and a younger brother in a house where every evening was spent performing a dance routine in front of our parents with my sister.
My father made me very tough.
My house was a place where there was no difference between being a boy or a girl.
It was a very big decision when I decided to leave B. Tech to come to Mumbai. But they were always supportive. At one point, I felt I shouldn't do it. My mother encouraged me then.
I love Priyanka Chopra mainly because she is a self-made woman.
Priyanka Chopra has made a huge impact on me.
People assume that acting is an easy job. When you actually do it, you know how hard that is.
Neeraj Pandey is a very smart director.
It is very difficult for me to accept the fact that I am acting in front of the camera.
I follow a routine on a daily basis, which comprises dance class, gymnastics, and going to the gym. I also spend about half an hour on yoga, too.
As I grew up, I started practising gymnastics. I love dancing as well. So that keeps me fit.
If I am writing down something and it is my idea, my imagination, it won't be fact.
I don't take others' views seriously because that isn't a fact. I do respect everyone's view, but I am not affected.
We have freedom of speech, and anybody's idea can't be a fact.
From being a nobody in the industry to getting so much love, it has been an amazing journey.
I strongly believe that your hair plays a significant and impactful role in helping you change your look or make a style statement.
I look forward to being part of the ASUS family and its fascinating growth journey in India.
Modelling is completely different from acting. They are two skills that you can't compare.
Commercials are 20 seconds long, so you don't get to experiment with your characters. But in films, you get to try out your acting skills.
Stories matter to me. I look for a good script, story, and a strong part.
I like dancing but not in crowded clubs. I would rather dance alone than go to a club.
Jackie Chan is the best storyteller on this planet.
Use coconut oil to remove makeup, and do it before going to bed.
When it comes to fashion, follow your instinct.
Shop online for great deals.
I don't really wear sarees and suits.
Though I love sarees and feel a woman looks most beautiful in a saree, my personal style statement is casual because I am more tomboyish.
Conditioning is very important when it comes to hair. One should oil hair on a regular basis for hair nourishment.
I wash my face with a good cleanser and then dab some rose water on my face. I do this before I head to bed.
I am an actress. My first film was a Telugu film, my second film was Bollywood, and third was Indo-Chinese.
It doesn't matter to me where am I going. Language is not a barrier for me, I can go anywhere with my craft, so why not Hollywood?
I am not a very complex person. I believe in simplicity.
I do follow cleansing and hydrate my skin. It is really important. Especially before going to bed, you have to remove make-up, clean your skin, and hydrate your skin.
I am mostly concerned about the script. If I get something that excites me, I will do it.
For me, acting is an art.
I don't understand this concept of women-oriented films or stories based on women, because nobody uses the term, a 'man-oriented' film. Why do you have to separate girls from boys?
It doesn't matter if I am the lead or a man is the lead actor in a film. What really matters to me is that I give my 100 per cent to my job.
From my childhood, I have watched a lot of action films, and I am a big fan of Jackie Chan.
I am learning aerobics and gymnastics, so I would love to do an action film.
