As a child, I did watch some Hindi movies at home with Dad, but I didn't know who anyone was. I wasn't interested, honestly.

I know I'm not the consummate Bollywood heroine. But I'm working hard on it.

In Bollywood, they like to put us in short clothes. And I am very shy; I don't like wearing revealing stuff, though my image is such. Unfortunately, it's a body-obsessed industry.

If I can still have Hollywood and a piece of Bollywood, I will take it.

I'm intrigued by traditional Indian designs. They are so beautifully handcrafted, and the designs are so intricate and beautiful. I really prefer the Indian designs.

I come from a culture where we wear white for weddings. In India, it's different. But I really feel that there should be no set notions, and a bride should only wear something when she's comfortable in it.

People will still give me attention: even when my teeth are gone, I'll have some good stories to tell.

Even though my parents separated, my mother was in love with my father and never re-married.

I don't think about it. I have always been linked up with everybody.

I don't eat white breads, and I'm off dairy due to an allergic reaction and because of what it does to the body. I've learnt a lot about different foods and how the body breaks it down and what happens when we eliminate or incorporate certain foods, and it's pretty fascinating!

At the end of the day, the one commonality that both Hindi cinema and Hollywood share is that they are full of talented and inspirational people. Outside of this, there are many differences, from the scheduling and rehearsal to promotion and directing techniques.

My mother is happy with whatever I choose to do in life as long as I'm happy, healthy, and safe.

I like to wear jewellery, even though I like my look to be minimalist. When I go out for events, I like to have at least one statement piece. It always adds glamour.

For me, life is about experiencing many new things and working with good people, working on good projects, and in general, just having any kind of job.

I like to take my own time, and I don't like to rush. I do take time, and I have patience.

I like to start my day with a glass of coconut water, some protein powder, and a mix of things - goji berries, flax seeds, hemp seeds, even the flesh of a coconut or anything with a lot of fibre. I often add bananas, or eggs - fried or boiled - to my breakfast.

Some critics have been very harsh. That's okay. I like honest criticism.

I'm a little weird that way. I don't really know how to express my happiness.

For me, fashion means dare. I don't mind wearing a bikini. I am okay with it.

I had to struggle with the language. I can understand Hindi now, but I still can't communicate. And things get lost in translation; I feel rejected all the time.

My sister and I had a tough childhood, but my mom always said that travelling is the most beautiful thing you can do in your life. She always showed us the globe and gifted me an atlas.

I think massage is a very important part of life, which is present from centuries as an imminent part of India's tradition.

I've experienced wrong diagnoses and been given antibiotics for things that could be cured naturally. We may not think much of it, but it destroys our immunity.

I don't think anyone could play me. It would have to be me.
