I always say that I was born in the wrong era. I should've been born in the '70s or '80s when love meant so much more than it does today. In this busy world, we forget to find each other, fall in love, and go all the way for our soul mates.
I believe in finishing what I start; not being able to do that makes me feel weak.
Don't follow in my footsteps; follow your heart.
I love my fans in Pakistan for being so kind and letting me be myself. Along this journey of exploring myself and a new world out here, I'm always going to make them proud, too. They're my constant support system.
'Sanam Teri Kasam' wasn't the first Bollywood project offered to me. I was offered other projects with more established actors, but I always knew that I could easily be seen as just eye-candy.
I don't know about others, but I want to work in India, America, Iran, Europe, and Russia - everywhere. I am a sucker for good script; I'll go wherever it'll take me.
There's nothing in the world that I can't face.
Yes, TV is the dominant medium in Pakistan, but it was a conscious decision to have an Indian film as my first release. Being launched in an Indian film with a great script, character, and music is half the battle won. The rest is destiny.
As far as inspiration is concerned, I only have one person - Madhubala. She was beautiful like a wax doll. And I just love her eye movement and those pure emotions which strike your heart.
I cannot judge a country. I fall in love with the people and the place each time I visit a new place.
As far as my education goes, I've always felt that was my hobby instead of acting.
I've never felt acting just happened to me. It's always been a part of my life, and I - hopefully, I'll prove that with every project of mine.
My routine is similar to that of a nomad. But I crave for the comforts enjoyed by a normal girl. In fact, while shooting for my debut film, 'Sanam Teri Kasam,' I turned my vanity van into my room.
Besides stray instances of acting in school and college, I hadn't prepared myself to be an actor.
Growing up, I've always felt I was God's favoured child. Circumstances to help me just happen.
I don't want to be jack of all, master of none. I want to focus completely and excel as an actor with every project.
I don't like whining about the challenges I face while I work. I know they are for the better so I can rise stronger and better.
Art penetrates, no matter how many bans you put out.
I don't want to sign something just because everyone is looking forward to what I sign next. When I take up a project, I am all in to deliver the best I can with sincerity and honesty.
Nothing - and, I repeat, nothing - can affect what you build with sheer hard work. You either wait for people to define your worth or you define it with your own actions. I believe in the latter.
