I would never do anything that's derogatory to women.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
For me, my first hearing of the script matters. It has to excite me as an actor and as an audience.
-
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 would love to do a biopic on Madhubala. She was very pretty. I really admire her.
-
Whatever you learn will never go waste. It will be beneficial for me in future.
-
The more successful you become, the more known you become, everything you say is minutely scrutinised a lot.
-
I particularly like Shah Rukh Khan's style. He is very laid back and very comfortable with whatever he carries.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 don't think one film is enough to showcase your talent or to show your abilities as an actor.
-
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.
-
I'm learning to work under pressure. Yesteryear songs are slow and demanding on the expressions.
-
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 wasn't really fashion-conscious earlier.
-
There is a slight tomboyish side to me. But I was studious, and I did not bunk classes!
-
It's better to focus on one film rather than take up two or three films at the same time.
-
Some people do believe that any publicity is good publicly, but I don't. I would never want to be in news for rumours.
-
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.
