I've learnt that you need to have a thick skin, lots of patience and be consistently good.Collection: Patience
You have moments when you sulk, when you crib and cry and feel that, 'why me and why all these things are happening with me.' We are only human. It's about facing your fear and not giving up because you are the only person who will support yourself at the end of the day and if you dont do that than nobody else will.Collection: Fear
I don't believe in casual dating; I would rather be in a proper relationship.Collection: Relationship
Everybody dates these days. Like you get to know someone before you end up getting married, committing for a lifetime relationship. So dating is cool, date as much as you want, get to know the person.Collection: Dating
I'd like to believe that I'm chic yet cool and casual.Collection: Cool
You cannot be laid back at any given time and think 'you have made it.' You need to have your head on your shoulders and have the right attitude. Your attitude is extremely important.
My internship with Oberoi hotels and later working with the ITC group in Jaipur helped me get a better exposure; I got to meet expatriates and get acquainted with people from different parts of the country.
I have cats, dogs, monkeys and ducks at home - it's like a mini zoo.
Ni Main Yaar Manana Ni' is a cult classic and also one of my favourite songs from a Yash Chopra movie. The song is about never giving up on one's love and I connected instantly with it when I first heard it.
I believe in throwing a lot of positive energy in the universe and hope for the best.
I'm happy that my parents were supportive. They never really pressurised me into going ahead with just about anything.
I don't stay in the constant worried and over-thinking zone.
I hope people like me in the film and love the film because I think 'Befikre' is a very sweet film.
I don't think 'Befikre' is frivolous at all. Yes, the film is light-hearted. Shyra and Dharam are free-spirited but that doesn't mean they are obnoxious.
Yes, I come from a protective family. I wasn't even allowed to sleep over at a friend's place as a child.
I want to be a part of the best movies that are being made, and to work with the best directors.
I don't want to end up being dependent on anyone.
There are certain filmmakers who look at the kind of work you have been a part of or if you come with a baggage of bad films.
I can get awkward. I am not the best person to break the ice.
You can be accepted in a film which is amazing, and the same person can be rejected in another film whose content does not resonate with people.
All of us are hungry to be a part of great stories. There are some fortunate ones who get it early in their career, and there are some, for whom it takes a little while to get to be even considered for a part which could be promising.
I never give in to pressure.
Honestly, in life you should take situations day by day. You never know what comes your way. I just like to go along with my instincts and be a part of the kind of work I like.
If I am not deeply passionate about a certain project then I will let it be.
I just want to be a part of something exciting, that's all.
If you're feeling comfortable and confident in whatever you are sporting, you will pull it off. One can even wear garbage bags if they are confident enough.
I know what I can pull off and what I can't. That's important for everyone because not everything will look good on you.
Fashion is something that comes and goes. What remains is your style and that's nothing but an extension of your personality that you are showcasing via your clothes.
I don't like the energy at award shows. It's rehearsed and everybody is just focused on themselves and nobody wants to genuinely applaud for anyone else. People aren't even listening if someone is giving a speech on stage.
When you feel low and down, you don't know whom to talk to and go out with.
Loyalty is very important to me.
In Mumbai, I don't know many people. I only know colleagues.
I have lost weight; my face is bound to look different.
Ideally, I want my films to work because I want the people who have invested their money to get back their investment and make profits too.
No, I am very old school. Everybody has a different definition of old school today. But yes, I do feel that I would like to meet, know a person before taking it forward. I am not the casual hook-up types.
My parents support and trust me a lot. They know I would never do anything that will be wrong for me and even if it is, they know I would be smart enough to own up and take a stand for myself, be responsible with what I'm doing.
I have very few friends.
Yes, if something good is offered in any language, I will do it.
I knew I had the potential. I would say, have self belief and dedication and leave the rest to destiny!
Everyone gets opportunities that one should make the most of.
When I was signed by Elite Model Agency, my mom felt it was the right place as it was a professional agency.
There will be hits and misses; you can't take it to heart. Of course, you feel bad when something doesn't do as well as you expected it to, but it's a part of being in films.
You cannot be loved always, you cannot expect every film of yours to do a certain way, but I feel proud of the work I have done and projects I have been part of.
I don't think about who is doing what, but give my 100 per cent to whatever is coming to me.
I loved 'NH 10,' 'Piku' and 'Raazi.'
As an actress, I want to live many lives on-screen.
Since 'Shamshera' is set in a particular time, the dance sequences require me to have a very Indian, very classical body language, which is why I started taking kathak classes to learn the nuances and the grace.
Unfortunately, I don't meet guys and it's really sad. I only meet actors on set.
I do realise I need to expand my social circle so I can meet more people.
In my free time, I do travel, watch films and learn on the go.
