For me, my first hearing of the script matters. It has to excite me as an actor and as an audience.
-
I have no particular inspiration, but I do find Anushka Sharma, Deepika Padukone and Kangana Ranaut amazing.
-
The more you do, the more you think, the better you get.
-
I would love to do a biopic on Madhubala. She was very pretty. I really admire her.
-
When I started doing advertisements, I really enjoyed the whole process of shooting, and I realised that I could do the little bit of acting required quite easily. My directors also told me that I have a flair for acting and that I should polish it and try for films. Then I thought I probably had it in me - why not give it a shot?
-
I will always choose to work in a movie based on whether I would want to watch it - if I would be willing to spend money in a theatre on it. The script and the people you will work with come after that.
-
In the mornings, I use a good moisturiser and a colouring lip balm. In the evenings, though, I like to go a little glam.
-
Modelling was never a career option for me; it was always a hobby. I was modelling while I was pursuing my B.Tech, so the obvious choice after finishing my studies was to do a job. But while I was modelling and doing TV commercials, I really loved being in front of the camera. I enjoyed the shooting process.
-
Whatever you learn will never go waste. It will be beneficial for me in future.
-
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.
-
The more successful you become, the more known you become, everything you say is minutely scrutinised a lot.
-
These days, we are scrutinised by everybody. Girls in the industry put a lot of effort into it. You can't be overdressed or underdressed, your make up has to be subtle and there's a lot of brainstorming that goes into it.
-
Actors don't have to be linked in real life for the chemistry to be translated on screen.
-
I particularly like Shah Rukh Khan's style. He is very laid back and very comfortable with whatever he carries.
-
It's scary to imagine yourself failing. But I do know that in Bollywood, every Friday changes your destiny, and unfortunately, every Friday also changes the way people look at you.
-
There is a slight tomboyish side to me. But I was studious, and I did not bunk classes!
-
I don't think one film is enough to showcase your talent or to show your abilities as an actor.
-
I was horrified to find out that a startling percentage of women, even in Bengaluru, do not go out or wash their hair during their periods.
-
I am very instinctive when it comes to a script.
-
I am just a beginner. The two films so far are baby steps. If I develop an attitude, I'll be finished even before I've started. Besides, if I started misbehaving, my folks would give me a tight slap.
-
If you don't come from film family, it takes time for people to register you. When you don't come from film family, the connection with the audience takes time to build up; it happens eventually.
-
My parents were never into films, but I hope to make them proud with my work some day. In any case, in Bollywood, your surname matters only till your first, second, or third film at most. Beyond that, you are on your own.
-
I would really like it if someone knows me more for a character that I've played. If they call out the character's name instead of mine by mistake, it would be lovely.
-
Star kids always get an upper hand at the start of their career. People in the industry often know them from the time they were toddlers, so they show support to them when their film is about to release.
