QUOTES

We don't grow as human beings from good things happening. We grow from failures.

Hard work and sacrifice can get you a long way.

Life is a lot more fragile than we think. So you should treat others in a way that leaves no regrets. Fairly, and if possible, sincerely.

Everything that I am going to do as an actress doesn't matter where it's coming from. It just has to be interesting.

I didn't like when people said that actresses have shelf life.

I feel things are changing now. Actresses are working at same pace even after getting married or having kids.

I have done everything in my life very normally. And marriage is definitely there on my agendas in life. But I don't know when will it happen.

I am a very basic person. I still believe marriage happens only once, and you have to sustain it.

I never come to know if somebody is in love with me; they will have to hold placards and say it.

As an actor, you want to do your best but not overshine the film. No actor is above the film.

I want to be part of great cinema. That is my only aim.

I enjoyed playing the dual role of an actor and producer.

I really wanted 'NH10' to be made, and being associated with it eased the entire process.

As a viewer, I really want to watch author-backed stories, and there is something amazing about thrillers, the way it captivates your imagination.

Acting has always been my passion and will remain so.

I share a very good rapport with Shah Rukh, so I was at ease working with him, and Imtiaz is a dream director for any actor.

When we worked together for 'Band Baaja Baaraat,' Ranveer used to be very anxious and hyper on set. He used to do weird things, but now he is calmer, less anxious. He's a better actor now.

I would love to do a chick flick sometime soon, a film with strong female characters - when I say strong, I don't mean that they are changing the world, but just be real women.

I am not against two-heroine films.

I understand that ups and downs in life keep wavering, and it's important to understand them and why they happen. So I learn whatever I have to and then move forward.

I don't have any sense of inhibition, so I'm able to lead my life with a lot of honesty.

I don't hide anything about myself, so I don't find it difficult to talk about things that happen in my life... But at the same time, I don't like putting myself out there too much. That's how I am.

I'm an honest person and don't lead my life on other people's terms.

Style, to me, is an extension of one's personality, a kind of self expression which is very personal. It is an expression of your moods, your personality.

I shouldn't feel awkward or feel disconnected to myself or my body while wearing the clothes or a particular fashion. This is very important.

It is very important for me that my clothes are comfortable and allow me to feel like myself and at ease.

My style is a bit of what I like to call chic-casual. It is easy and comfortable.

After I turned producer, people asked me, 'Why are you taking up production? You are still so young and doing well.' Just because an actress decides to make movies, do people assume that her career is not going well?

I love the work that goes into making a movie and creating a different world. It is a wholesome experience.

I would watch films like 'Frances Ha' and 'The Squid and the Whale,' and wonder why we weren't making these beautiful slice-of-life movies. Then I thought, 'Why am I not doing it?'
