I'm open to different kinds of roles, characters and genres.

Luckily I'm blessed with decent genes. But, that can change anytime. I know that it's just not healthy to eat unhealthy. I do workout, and have gotten into quite a fixed routine of Pilates and strength training. And it's not so much about the weight, but also about being healthy.

I spent a lot of my school vacations in Devlali because my grandparents lived in the cantonment there.

I don't believe in extreme diets. For me, staying away from sugar and processed foods, eating home-cooked meals and exercising regularly is the key.

Anyone who's worked on a film would want their work to be watched and appreciated.

A lot of hard work goes into making a film.

I have a huge appetite. I can eat enough for three people. So for me, eating small meals through the day is key. It keeps me full, at the same time it doesn't make me lethargic.

I had a sense of pride for the armed forces from the time I was a child because of my grandfather. He taught me to salute. He told me that every time I see army personnel, I should salute as a mark of respect.

Walking the shows at New York Fashion Week was such a great high.

At the end of the day, there is a lot of money that gets put into films.

When the audience appreciates your film, that's the happiest feeling for an actor because at the end of the day, you are making a film for them. When they like it and appreciate it, you feel your work is done.

I like travelling to different places and trying out different cuisines. I like experimenting with my food.

Travelling makes me feel free. I love Cape Town, and different parts of Europe. I love New York; I could live there in a heartbeat. I love London. Mostly, I like travelling to untouched kind of places. I love the mountains.

I prefer non-fiction to fiction. In fact, I don't read fiction at all. I read books that are based on true events.

I go to the gym four days a week, and focus on my upper body and lower body on alternate days. I also do a lot of free style exercises such as stretching and squatting.

Nothing much has changed after I joined the film industry. I follow the same diet and fitness routine that I used to during my modelling days.

It's very important to keep yourself fit when you are young. Many people take youth for granted and start taking care of their health only as they get older.

I have memories of the time when I was younger and when I believed in Santa Claus, which was the best part of Christmas. Back then, I wrote to Santa every year, hoping that my mom would post the letter with a stamp to the North Pole!

When you grow up, life makes you so busy that you completely lose the excitement around a festival.

I am quiet and reserved.

Cocktail' happened overnight for me. I didn't have the time to think about it, I suddenly got into films without even realising what I was doing.

I am not chasing stardom.

I think most of us are far removed from what goes on in our jails and the system. When I started working on 'Lucknow Central,' it was the first time I gave it some thought.

I remember my dad bought me my first phone when I finished school. I was a fresher in college, and at that time, it was mainly to keep a track of what I was doing and where I was going.

I listen to a lot of music and since I have to travel a lot, all my music is on my phone.

I think gadgets make for good gifts.

I can't say that I wanted to be an actress, it just happened along the way. I did not even know that I would be doing modelling but that also just happened.

Acting was never on agenda.

When I started with 'Cocktail,' I was trying to figure out if this was something I wanted to do.

As part of being in the industry you do watch what others are doing. I think that's something good to do.

I don't believe in competition.

When I see a great film I do wish I was part of it, that happens.

I am hoping good roles will come my way after the success of 'Happy.'

Working and modelling in New York was definitely a life changing experience for me.

I am a loner so I prefer traveling alone.

I started modelling in college, but it was part time since I was kind of nerdy and wanted to finish my studies.

Since I am not from a film family, I come with a different perspective. I come from a regular world. Of course, there's not always the help and assistance you'd get if you were from a filmi family, but I really didn't miss that.

I am not starry. I am your everyday girl, with not so everyday aspirations in life.

I've learnt there's nothing you can't do. I danced, for instance. I am not as reserved as I used to be. I've been on the reserved side since I was growing up perhaps because I was an only child, but that changed. I am way more confident. I'm more expressive and vocal.

It is a sin if you come to Rajasthan and not have dal-baati and laal maans. I know it's a little heavy but I am okay doing extra push-ups in the gym than missing the droolworthy Rajasthani food.

I find the best birthday plans are the unplanned ones.

The time that I took between 'Cocktail' and 'Happy Bhaag Jayegi,' a lot of people told me, 'out of sight is out of mind,' and I was like 'Okay, maybe.' And it did happen. Because I wasn't around, people just assumed I was doing other things and was not interested in films which I thought was unfair.

I have never been able to go against my instinct.

The impact that you can leave on the other person through your films holds way more weight than just being seen at a party or any other appearance, or being seen at a freaking airport.

I take my time to do things and I never plan in advance. It's one step at a time for me. I'd like to stick to that.

I've done things so unconventionally that I don't think I'd ever be able to lead by someone else's example or the way somebody else has done it. Everybody has their own way of going about things and mine seems to be completely different.

It takes me a while to make friends as I take time to get to know people.

A thriller or an action movie would entice me. A sportsperson or a musician's biopic sounds exciting, too.

Shiddat' is a beautiful story of love and the strong bonds between people. It is pure and intense and also very relatable. I am usually not a love story kind of person, but when I heard the script, it moved me a lot.

For me it's a very organic process. I read the script/hear a narration and pretty much know instantly if it's something I want to be a part of or not. It's really as simple as that.
