I love pairing evening gowns with hair tied up, like a boho updo or a curly chignon.

I cleanse and wash my face thoroughly and apply ice before I start applying my makeup.

It feels overwhelming to be recognised for 'Pink.' Surprisingly, all the frustration, angst of not being recognised for my talent and work all these years has disappeared overnight, and I am left only with gratitude.

I am not too much into political awareness, but I had known a lot about Indira Gandhi's strong persona. Obviously, she had a powerful personality and a lot of clarity and wisdom to rule India for so long.

I enjoy doing both comedy and drama, as long as I'm not doing something continuously.

I've stopped blaming myself for being a woman. I've stopped being apologetic about my sexuality and become comfortable with myself.

I am not at a level where I will be flooded with offers. Hopefully, things will change after 'Pink.' It is one film after 'Shaitan' where I am hoping things will change for me.

I cannot just blindly love someone.

I love aloe vera, and I apply a lot of fruit and vegetable pulp as masks on my skin - fresh tomatoes, banana, avocado - anything that is around me.

You need to be able to communicate what you feel - good or bad. But when I feel things are falling on deaf ears, I take a step back.

It is scary for me to do a film by directly showing up on the sets without any preparation.

I was ecstatic when I got my first film. But it took me some time to realise that the struggles and hardships would never be over.

Good work will come to you when your film does well.

I use a relatively hard mattress.

My sister used to live in Gurugram. I spent good enough time here when we were shooting for 'Pink.'

Whenever we actors become part of a Bollywood film, there is a certain pressure of earning a box office success.

If 'URI 2' happens, I will probably play the lead.

I'm settled emotionally and mentally because of my partner, and a lot of my growth has happened post-marriage.

I won't deny that when you look at a director's work, you are aware of the different works that they have done. For me, what's more important is my instinct about that person.

I do not want to work to stay busy. I want to feel excited and challenged with each character that I portray on-screen.

I'd never want to repeat a character - once done, it's of no interest to me.

I have realised it is easy to point fingers at others, but the moment you start questioning yourself, you become a better person.

Post 'Shaitan,' I felt frustrated, as I was not getting the kind of work that I wanted to do.

Olive oil mixed with raw sugar makes for an excellent lip scrub.
