These days, you don't need a song or glamour to make your film work. It is all about a good story.

Earlier, actors had a lot of power in their hands. And now, it has gone in the hands of the directors and writers, and that is how it should be. They are the visionaries, and we are the doers.

The chances of me getting trolled are very high because of the films I do. But I only read the good things.

I am a Bombay girl.

The sad truth of our country is that Indian women don't get a moment of rest.

I am an opinionated feminist. I can never say or do anything against women.

It's never easy for an actor who doesn't have connections in the film industry and who has to start from scratch.

I would love to play an urban working girl.

I believe 'Sonchiriya' is a film that will be recalled with much pride and respect for many years from now. We all worked very hard to make it a special work, and the director Abhishek Sir is a genius.

Women, especially in rural India, have to undergo such suffering and pain. It is important for our cinema to address their pain, anger, and frustration.

Films are the largest and most impactful medium.

When you are comfortable with your co-star, it reflects on screen.

Thank God for the Internet. Thank God for these amazing portals that are there. For instance, Netflix and Amazon. The kind of content the audience has got to see has gone up drastically, and because of this, the quality of work will go up, too.

The fact that we don't have censorship on the Internet really gives you a lot of freedom, as makers and creative people do what they believe in.

I am glad that 'Lust Stories' is coming on Netflix as opposed to the kind of commercial release it was going to get.

I have always liked my body. Believe me, when I was bigger, I wore whatever.

As a perception on how I have perceived myself, I have always felt beautiful.

Whenever I hear the narration for a new film, I have this process back home where my mother reads all my scripts.

It's unfortunate how people assume so much about your life based on the work you do.

I've seen everything at a very young age... I am a strong, opinionated person who really belongs to this modern day and age.

I'm an independent girl. I come from a family where we were given freedom.

I make sure I travel with my girlfriends at least twice a year because that's the time I rejuvenate and disconnect from myself.

I absolutely hate math!

I am a couch potato!

I had a replica of a red outfit that Karisma Kapoor wore in some movie. I have worn that outfit on many occasions.

I think, as an outsider, you are ready to deal with whatever comes your way.

As a woman, my stance is that I'm a fighter, and in no way will I support any kind of injustice against women in our society.

Women face so much at various levels - it can be as simple as the common belief that a woman is incapable of doing certain things or the fact that even if you do something wrong to her, she won't speak up for fear of embarrassment... The time is here that we all should fight against such wrongs.

The kind of films I do, people assume that I am not a fashionable person, but I am an urban girl, and I have always been fashionable.

Fashion is important in every girl's life.

Fashion is nothing but wearing what is comfortable and also sporting clothes that make you feel confident.

I am a compulsive shopaholic.

I only have a family pack; never really felt the need for abs or something like that because, to my mind, being fit in terms of cricket is far more important than anything.

I just try to improve every series.

We all know just bowling won't do in modern international cricket, and we have to contribute with the bat and as a fielder, too.

When I began, I was more of a swing bowler with little pace, but I realized it will be difficult to sustain without the pace, so my fitness has now allowed me maybe an extra yard of pace. That has been the secret of my success.

I will like to take one match at a time.

As a new ball bowler, it's my job to stick to the basics.

Swing is my main weapon.

All bowlers depend on movement, and I am no exception.

If you think like a batsman, you have an upper-hand over the man you're bowling to.

MS has always been a bowler's captain.

If the keeper is standing up, in the fear of getting stumped, the batsman will not try to walk down the wicket to negate the swing.

Shankar Basu introduced me to a different type of training that eventually helped me increase my pace. That, in turn, went on to help me bowl at the death, too.

IPL is such a tournament that you end up knowing about the strengths and weaknesses of everyone because you are playing with so many people in the same side.

I won't say I am a premier bowler or anything, because we are all trying to work hard, and whoever gets the opportunity wants to do well.

I have natural talent when it comes to batting.

T20 cricket is all about using variations, and timing has to be perfect.

Whatever knuckle ball I have bowled, I wanted batsmen to go after that. That way, you can get wickets, and that's one of the main reasons why I have been successful in power plays.

T20 is such a format that finishes quickly, and you only have four overs. If there are three bad balls in one over, you will go for runs, and your whole analysis suffers. The team is on back foot because of three balls. So each and every ball becomes very important. It makes the bowler think.
