As we know, menstrual hygiene is an issue women have been facing over the years. It's great that the initiative to provide low-cost sanitary napkins has been undertaken. It is an empowering step for many women.
Professionalism and punctuality are extremely important, especially in the career path I've chosen. Being on sets, film schedules can be very stringent and tight. They are sometimes at odd hours in various locations. Being there when you're called just ensures that the day starts smoothly.
My memories mean a lot to me, and I hold them close to my heart.
Even if you are born with a silver spoon, you have to work hard. I mean, you could be offered films on a platter, but if you don't get up in the morning and learn your lines, it is not going to work.
I usually take up short films when I am not tied up with feature films. Short films are easier to work on... because it doesn't take much of your time. The number of shoot days are lesser as compared to feature films.
I think jokes on colour or body shaming shouldn't be made. It's not funny to crack such jokes.
Bollywood is a business more than an art industry. One has to play the game others play to carve your own path.
I don't do much for skin. Just drink water, try to get proper sleep, exercise, sweat it out, keep it moisturised, and most importantly, clean. That's basically what I do.
I love to cook and read books.
A lot goes in my mind while choosing a role. Choosing unconventional roles is not a conscious decision. I choose the most exciting and challenging role from the options I have.
I did 'Padman' not only because of its social message. I did it because it was a good story.
Industry is not only driven by talent; it depends upon so many factors. If you need to be successful in this field, one should know how to convert everything into a plus point. If you have a dusky face, make that your plus point.
I have never celebrated Valentine's Day in my life.
Playing characters I don't relate to are a big challenge for me.
I like the sartorial taste of Kangana Ranaut and the effortless style of Ranveer Singh.
I did quite a lot of research for 'Phobia' because it's a very sensitive topic, so I couldn't have just faked it.
I do films because there is an audience out there. It doesn't matter if they're Indian, American, or European.
Yes, I will sign a film for the money. Because sometimes you don't have the money to eat, and you have to get work and maintain a lifestyle. Not just actors - I think everybody does that. No job on this planet is about 100 per cent satisfaction. You do some part of the job for money.
It is difficult to constantly make courageous choices.
When in doubt, always wear black.
