Let's make it clear: women are sexier than men. They are a prettier gender than their male counterparts. And then, if a woman is comfortable showing her mid-riff on-screen, what is the other's problem? Why does she face body shaming? Does a man face the same while going shirtless?

I used to have panic and anxiety attacks.

'Shaadi... ' made people see me as an actor. A lot of filmmakers called and said I was really good in the film... People from the industry - who never spoke to me, didn't think I was a great actor because they hadn't seen my work - said I can act.

One day, a photographer living in our building came up to my mom and asked her if I would like to model. After a few days, I was offered a Kannada film, 'Chiru,' which was a lot of fun. But I had to complete my studies, so I went back to college.

We need to live and let live. This applies to a couple in general.

I think the advantage I have with yoga is that it is something I can do on my own and can't make excuses that I don't have a place or the time. One can practice yoga anywhere, anytime. You don't have to worry about what you're wearing. For all of these reasons, yoga works for me.

When I am practicing yoga, I try to avoid music. But if I really have to listen to something, I listen to the Om chant.

When I am running, I like listening to typical Punjabi music. It is just who I am. It comes to me very naturally.

I am all for love marriage. I am not the kind of person who can be instructed to fall in love. I am not saying that it cannot happen. Most of my family members met the person and decided to get married. Their marriages have worked beautifully.

I believe equality in a relationship is very important, and for that, both partners should be equally capable to handle anything.

I am all for career, whether pre- or post-marriage.

I am not going to do anything that embarrasses my parents.

I used to be a conscious person in terms of dressing, and I wasn't comfortable with my body, so I wouldn't dress in a certain way. Now I am comfortable, and nothing bothers me. Once you are comfortable, everything starts looking good.

I really like the way Deepika Padukone dresses up. I think she really carries herself very well.

What matters to me as a creative artist is the credibility of the production house, the honesty in the script, and the way the filmmaker has conceived the characters in the narrative.

I don't think there's any space for any negativity or insecurity on the set of 'Housefull 4.' It feels like a big, crazy family.

Pole dancing is a great way to enhance your fitness level and also your dancing abilities.

It's not, like, how long you are on the screen, 'Karwaan' being the biggest the example. I may have had a five-minute role, but I know the appreciation that I got was a lot more than a five-minute role deserved probably.

If there's garbage in one's head, that's what will come out.

It took me a while to grasp Kannada and Telugu.

I was always one of those people who thought my love life would be dramatic - a knight in shining armour would take me away on his horse. I was that girl; I'm still that girl. What better way to live that life than being an actor?

I make sure that, every morning, my skin is really well moisturised. I use my sunscreen; I make sure I wash my face at least once during the day. I try not to overdo it, just so if there's any dust on my face, it doesn't settle into my pores.

I think my favourite beauty mantra would be getting a good night of sleep - it works wonders for your skin. And once you wake up, post your shower, ice your face. It really, really helps your skin.

I make sure I use, like, a hair mask, and I try not to spend too many days at a stretch with product in my hair, which is difficult 'cause then I have to wash it every alternate day - being an actor is not that easy, because everything you use has chemicals.
