Some essential oils, a nice massage followed by a power nap helps me start my Sunday on the right note. After a week full of running around, this becomes the perfect rejuvenation.

Unfiltered photos always get more attention. Filters are easy to discern.

We derive so much of our self-confidence and validation from Instagram. Just imagine one day Instagram gets deleted like all of your friends who you think you have on social media, all these likes and comments just disappear, what are we left with? We have stopped valuing human relationships and contact.

I have inherited my father's thick skin, which helps me deal with trolls.

I was exposed to the public because my dad is an actor. My pictures went online at a young age. A lot of negativity came from there. Not just with me, but it happened with a lot of my friends who are in the public eye.

People who troll are people who need love the most. They namelessly, facelessly bully people because they've probably never been loved. So it's even more important to show these people the amount of love you're capable of.

I have had my fair share of relationships. It's normal and one shouldn't judge me for it because in school you have many short-short relationships, you know.

A lot of people body shame me because I am very thin. They say I have a 'boy's body,' or that I look like a skeleton or like a runaway patient. People can never be happy, so you just have to be happy with your body and how you are.

I think it's very important to use your voice and use your voice responsibly. But, having said that, I think you should have all the knowledge before you do that.

I have always wanted to be an actor.

Just because my dad has been an actor, I will never say no to an opportunity to act. My dad has never been in a Dharma film, he never went on 'Koffee With Karan.' So it's not as easy as people say.

I feel like when you're 18 or 19, you have to have fun, live in the moment, and not overthink things.

I don't ever want young women to look at me and feel any kind of pressure to look or dress like me.
