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

Commercial film is a film that makes a lot of money, and I have very high hopes from 'Sonchiriya.'

Abhishek Chaubey has improved my craft, as I learnt so much on set.

If I don't stay true to my character, I would fail as an actor.

The journey of shedding weight was tough, but the only good thing was it did not take a toll on my health.

I am a young girl, and I am open to dating, but at the risk of sounding cliched, I really don't have the time for it.

I want to always break stereotypes. It is fulfilling as an actor to be able to do that, especially when you see people and the audience loving it.

I am constantly trying to push my boundaries and break the mould that has been made for leading actresses, and it is such great fun.

I have become a nicer person after every film I have done.

I come from a family where I have been empowered.

Abhishek Chaubey has been in my bucket list for a long time. When he approached me, I thought it's for a film he is producing, but I never expected my fourth film to be an Abhishek Chaubey film.

I feel good when my films get all the love, respect, and appreciation. That is my driving force to do better work in future.

Just wearing expensive and glamorous clothes do not merit for me to do a film. There has to be a good story and a good role.

'Son Chiriya' is a special film with lovely co-stars and a sorted out director.

As human beings, we need to evolve with time, and if you fail to do that, your existence will suffer.

Cinema has the power to change the society. Through my films, the kind of characters I have played and will play, I am trying to do my bit in changing the patriarchal mindset.

I feel, in our culture, the girl with any sort of power is called 'difficult' or various words that are demeaning just because she has a voice, has confidence, and stands for her rights. It is sad, but it is the truth of our country.

Everywhere in the society, even my extended family, when they got to know that I am going to be an actor, they were very worried because there is a lot of negativity attached to my craft or being a heroine.

Priyanka Chopra - I have actually adored her since I was 10, maybe, when she became Miss India. She's just super strong, and I crush on all strong women!

Having born and brought up in Mumbai, I am as urban as urban can be, but my parents ensured that my sister and I understand social responsibility as well.

Even as a teenager, my sensibility was different because my parents introduced me to some amazing films. I grew up watching films like 'Kabuliwala,' 'Casablanca,' and 'Mandi.'

If you mingle with real people, only then your craft can improve. I spend most of my time outside the vanity van, speaking to people. You never know what you can pick from a person.

After 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha,' I didn't know which way my life will head because my debut was with a very unconventional role.

I am not against being in a relationship, and neither is the case that I want to be in one. I just go with the flow.
