Family means a lot to me as I come from a big one myself.
Apart from films I've been shooting a lot of ads and signing on with a lot of brands as their primary endorser.
I love my gymnastics and a flexible body, so I indulge in a lot of yoga from that aspect.
Be it gym or yoga, I love it all. I start my day with it and it has to be at least for an hour and a half each morning. Even when I am holidaying, I stick to this regime.
I want to do commercial films as well as off-beat movies.
Good scripts are difficult to come by in the industry, especially if you are an outsider.
For me, it has always been about acting and I will do films which are content-driven.
There is always a new experience on every set, a new mistake you make. It is a learning experience.
When I worked with Chinese crew for the first time, including production unit, spot boys etc, everyone was so affectionate, sweet and kind.
Getting that debut film is definitely harder than someone who has got a known last name. I mean some star kids don't even audition.
Only you can take care of yourself and only you can push yourself to do better and work harder and make someone believe in your talent.
What aren't the pressures of being an actress? Don't get me wrong, I love my job. It has been my one and only dream but it's scary. There's a certain lifestyle and image one has to live up to or face the criticism which is quite harsh and cruel.
From my early days in modelling to every new commitment, is like a first job for me every time.
The only thing that drives me is those different sort of roles which allow me to experiment.
You will not find me repeating a character or carrying similar mannerism in different films.
I am a rebellious North Indian girl and I was not sure if I would have said yes to a film like 'Rajma Chawal' if it would not be from South as it allows me to challenge myself.
My mother quit her job in advertising in order to raise us and she really allowed and encouraged us to be ourselves.
I love fitness and I guess I could be called a fitness freak.
While growing up, I have had women around me, be it my mother or aunt, who have individually shown me how to be strong.
When I first began learning yoga, I found it really hard because I couldn't clear my mind for the meditative part of it, but then after a few weeks it became easier and I could see how it began to change my body. I became more flexible and more relaxed and at peace with my environment. I love yoga and I encourage all my friends to practise it.
