I have always felt that just to show love, you don't have to make two people do intimate scenes. That is not the idea of 'I love you.'
-
Theatre is like an actor's nectar, like how cinema is a director's medium.
-
The better the actor I am acting with, the better my performance gets.
-
I think sometimes a part requires more than one approach or thought.
-
I was offered to play an Italian part in an Italian film. Although I could not take it up because I did not have the time, the kind of characters being offered to us are changing.
-
People think that theatre helps, but in my case, it slowed me down. I had to unlearn everything when I went on to a film set.
-
With every project, I have to grow.
-
I am learning the grammar of acting on the sets. And I am happy that way.
-
There is good and there is bad, and then there are mothers.
-
We can't stop people from thinking what they want to.
-
I am seldom home, as I keep travelling because of work.
-
I was shooting for 'Bobby Jasoos' when I was offered 'Khamoshiyan.'
-
Scripts and directors make great actors, not the other way around.
-
Mahesh Bhatt has changed me a lot. I used to be very held back with my words. He has made me open up. He has taught me how to say what comes to my mind, just as he does.
-
I want to settle down.
-
I am humbled at the fact that I always get great support and reviews from my critics, but it's the film that requires to be good enough for it to work.
-
I was offered a role in the series 'Homeland,' which I couldn't do because the dates clashed with my film with the Bhatts - 'Khamoshiyan.' But I wish I had done it. Look at how much notice the series got Nimrat Kaur.
-
My first preference is Bollywood and will always be.
-
I return to the stage time and again to see if I am worth anything.
-
In Bollywood, the film's stakes are as high as the actor. In Hollywood, they are way above, and the day we realise this in our industry, we will start appreciating actors.
-
I got a chance to work with Judi Dench in almost every scene. How many Indian actors get that chance?
-
For someone who works in theatre, the rehearsal is where you discover everything. It is where magic happens, where the script enters you and becomes part of you.
-
We have to keep pace with changing times.
-
I think, in all this race and competition, we actors forget how to have fun.
