I'm learning to work under pressure. Yesteryear songs are slow and demanding on the expressions.
I don't know how I would react to the casting couch. I'm sure that at that moment, you won't really know what to do. Whatever you do at that moment is instinctive.
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.
When you don't come from a film background, getting the right debut is important and difficult, as you don't have the sensibility to know what will work and what won't.
I hope I get an opportunity to work with Akshay Kumar and Prabhu Deva, as they are very supportive people.
I have declined projects made under big banners because I didn't have much to do in them.
After a point, it doesn't matter where you come from. There are many star kids who haven't done well in the industry and rank newcomers who have done amazingly well.
I started modelling while still studying. I liked doing television commercials and being in front of the camera. Lots of ad directors told me to try for films.
I come from a family of working professionals: my dad is a chartered accountant, and my mom is a professor.
I can't stand on the roadside and have Pani Puri like before. But, at the same time, being an actor makes you feel special. People look up to you, want to know more about you, and shower you with so much love without even knowing you personally. It's overwhelming.
I wasn't really fashion-conscious earlier.
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.
I am very instinctive when it comes to a script.
For me, my first hearing of the script matters. It has to excite me as an actor and as an audience.
I wasn't the most confident kid in school and college.
Even my family is shocked that I chose this profession.
I think less is more. Sephora has these nude themes, which is like 'no make-up' make-up.
The more successful you become, the more known you become, everything you say is minutely scrutinised a lot.
I think I'm someone you would really break down easily, so I have to work on that.
When I was young, I remember the first song I danced to was 'Akhiyan Milaon,' because I am a big fan of Madhuri Dixit.
