“I always wanted to do theatre but never really took it up, as I was more inclined towards dance and films.”
“Some commercials can work against your image.”
“I am very uncomfortable being romantic. I can be funny; I can be all over the place. I can be anything but romantic.”
“As Maharashtrian actors, we are very conscious about our decisions in Bollywood. It's not cakewalk. Bollywood is vast, and there is a lot of competition. I don't want to be doing something small there.”
“I want to prove to my fans that I am beyond candy floss roles and item numbers.”
“I have never hesitated to work hard and always try and give my best in whatever I am doing.”
“With Marathi cinema, content is king. It has always been driven by content. I am lucky that I don't have to leave home to seek a job elsewhere. The industry is here at home.”
“Things work very differently in Bollywood. There is a lot of camping there.”
“The Marathi film 'Natrang' has amazing songs. I also like and have sufi and folk music.”
“Though films have established me as an actor, dance has given me an identity and a boost to my career, and I am thankful to God for that.”
“I am closest to my mother, as she is my rock, my pillar of strength, and my world. Not only has she stood by me through all times - happy, sad, and otherwise - but there have even been moments when I had completely lost hope, and her immense belief in me had lifted me up.”
“Himanshu and I travel together whenever possible, but there are times when I like to travel with my mother and maasi. It is really shocking that trolls comment on that, too. They say 'Don't you get along with your mother-in-law that you don't take her along?' Now, who would accept such remarks about one's mother?”
“Sometimes I am moody or bubbly, and then at other times, I just want to disconnect. I am an extreme person.”
“I have been a part of stage shows, but yes, I do get cold feet when I think that every move of mine will be under scrutiny!”
“I thought that losing weight by following a strict diet will make me more flexible and feel more confident about my body. I have become so used to the routine now and have fallen in love with my body that I would want to follow it forever.”
“I would have loved to play Arjun Rampal's role in 'Rock On!'”
“Commercials certainly pay more than films. I was pleasantly surprised at the profitability of commercials when I did my first ad for a popular soap brand years ago. I was paid a huge amount of money for a mere 30 seconds of screen presence. After that, ads have been a regular feature in my career.”
“I entered this glam world by luck. I wanted to join dancing classes since I was a child, but my parents never gave me the permission to do so, as no one in our family had ever chosen this path. Fortunately, I got my first break in a reality show easily due to my dance skills, so that way I have been lucky.”
“Marriage has changed Himmanshoo in some ways. Throughout our 10 years of courtship, he was more liberal. But after marriage, he has become a typical Indian husband.”
“When 'Pune-52' was offered to me, I liked the script, but I wasn't convinced about the kissing and other intimate scenes. I tried talking to the director, but things didn't work out.”
