It is important to choose your director and co-stars well.

Yoga disciplines both the mind and the souls and not just your body. It helps me in having a constant positive outlook in life. I would love my family to adopt this form of fitness as well.

I know, whoever visits my restaurant, they have loved the food.

Salman will always be that special person in my life because he was able to change my career. I will never ever forget what he has done for me. On the personal front, too, he has advised me as a friend and family, something I couldn't have even asked for.

Actresses cannot have any inhibitions while portraying bold characters. It is something that we learn on the first page of the book on acting.

Take care of yourself by eating right, sleeping right, and exercising regularly! These are the only rules I swear by. If you follow this religiously and use the right products, your skin and hair will thank you.

When I look at offers, I think about the entire package and how it is going to work in my favour or how it's going to project me.

When it comes to my skin, I experiment with a lot of home remedies.

I am very particular about cleansing.

The Bhatts are an amazing family and a production house to work with, and I guess anyone will back me up for this.

We all portray a lot of characters, and once we get into a shot, we have to come out of our skin and be a completely different person.

As a girl, I love the joy, luxury, and effortlessness of experiencing a pedicure on the go.

Moving to India was challenging being a foreigner. I don't have any family here. I didn't have anyone to guide me. But I never felt for a second that I am not welcome here.

Industry has been very good to me. I am glad that destiny brought me here.

'Flying Jatt' is a different and interesting script.

Before I was cast for 'Brothers,' we all knew that Karan Johar was looking for an actress for to play a mother's role. I never thought that he would think of casting me.

I usually play the role of a glamourous girl or a Miss Goody-two-shoes.

The reason I prefer working with established actors and stars is because they are more popular, and the film reaches out to more people and do well in terms of numbers, too.

I love how our industry always stands united.

During 'Race 2,' I had to lean down completely because there was a lot of action scenes in it.

Comedy is one of the toughest genres. It is so essential to get the timing right, failing which the humour can fall flat.

Bollywood being Bollywood, you hear promises all the time.

I think it's really important for actors to add some shock value to whatever they do. I think the audience gets bored very easily, and it's really important to keep experimenting.

I believe in love but just have not found anyone.

When I entered Bollywood, I didn't have any advantage over anyone. I didn't know how to act, I was not from the industry, I didn't know the language, and I didn't know how to dance. So, whatever films I was getting, I was just taking them up.

So far, I'm known for doing more commercial and glamorous roles. But I don't mind doing a short film.

I would recommend all girls to please oil their hair at least once a week.

Oils have the most wonderful effect on the complexion due to their high affinity with the skin.

You can literally see the radiance and suppleness being restored and dull skin coming back to life as all of those incredible nutrients go to work, that is why I just love The Oils of Life range from The Body Shop. I also love indulging in home spa treatments.

When buying beauty products, I always check the ingredients. The product should be sourced from natural ingredients. It should have not been tested on animals, as I am against animal testing, and it should be soft on the skin.

If you are insecure, then you can't be friends with anyone.

I have a restaurant in Sri Lanka, and I feel keen to open up something here in Mumbai and bring Sri Lankan food here in India. I feel we have so much in common, but we have a different cuisine, and I am sure people will enjoy here.

I am passionate about spreading awareness about Sri Lankan food.

Neither am I on an extreme diet nor am I on an extreme workout.

I'm very used to being in India now and to working with actors and directors I'm comfortable with because I know them already.

This will sound really funny, but I'm so used to shooting in Hindi that shooting in English took a while to get used to.

I am a director's actress in general - I depend a lot on them.

In terms of my looks in 'Brothers,' it's definitely not a glamourised look. It is very realistic.

We are trying to push the envelope with a lot of characters in 'Brothers.' We are going out of the way and being honest to our roles.

I think, as an actress, it is amazing to shock your audiences.

I enjoy doing comedy.

What motivates me is that the best is yet to come.

The most important thing is that you don't bore the audience.

Our craft is all we have. So, we should keep it challenging and exciting. Else, there's no actual growth.

The only thing that comes naturally to me is my energy.

I was very confused in the beginning about my red carpet appearances and wanted to try every look, be it grungy, girly, punk or bohemian.

It's fun to work with men. They don't bully you. On the contrary, they guide you and become one of your buddies.

Actresses are usually either the love interest or the glam quotient in a movie, but I play a strong character in 'Dishoom' who is at par with the guys, thanks to director Rohit Dhawan and his out-of-the-box thinking.

It was exciting for me, as I got to be one of the guys in 'Dishoom.'

I've never raised my hand on anyone in my whole life. I feel it's barbaric.
