It is so common in middle-class families to consider modelling and acting not serious.

I have never emulated any star or celebrity completely, and I hope nobody does the same of me.

I have no illusions of being an icon to young girls or anybody.

I dont have a crush on anyone easily.

I find Tom Hardy very hot. About Bollywood actors, I dont think like that, as I know them.

When my friends in college had crushes, I used to think something is wrong with them. I just chill out.

I dont understand flirting.

That is the beauty of working with Karan Johar: you are going to look your best.

I am someone who doesn't pay so much attention to how I am looking. I get so involved in what I am doing, so I overlook that.

I want to do a biopic as an actor. It's a thrill... I would love it if I am able to do a biopic.

I have nothing to hide. So when I spoke about my lip job, a lot of people called me brave for coming out.

I wanted fans to know that I'm human and not perfect.

For me, it's not like I am going to look at the money the director's film has made before their film... For me, it is about working with the director whose work I have admired.

I always do stories that I believe in, characters that I find interesting, and directors who I want to work with. All these factors have contributed while making choices and continue to as an actor and as a producer.

I think 'NH10' could have been done equally well by anybody else, and it's not a 'female-centric' or 'male-centric' film. It's the story that will appeal to the audience.

I don't think that a film should be known as 'male-centric' or 'female-centric,' but it should be known for the story. That would be really nice, and viable, too.

I'm not gonna give anybody the power to control my life.

I tell myself that if I start to listen to these people and start to let them decide how I should behave and what I should do, then this is not my life - it's theirs.

If I lead my life according to someone else, I've screwed my life up.

I was never treated differently. I never felt like I was lesser or I was discriminated against. I've only experienced that after I became an actor.

A female newcomer and a male newcomer will get paid different amounts of money. You're a newcomer, nobody knows who you are, man or woman doesn't matter. But you're going to get paid different money.

I was very young when I became an actor: I was 19 years old.

Growing up, my parents treated my brother and me with absolute equality.

I just got exposed to electronica, and I really liked it. I am also good with alternative rock. I like Lana Del Rey, Adele, Dido, Jack Johnson, and I love the Beatles and the Beach Boys.
