“I would say Nawaz is my lucky charm.”

“I'm taking dance lessons and getting stuck in. It's a great way of keeping fit, and it's obviously a big part of Bollywood movies, so I need to learn.”

“My parents came from lower-class British backgrounds. But they worked hard and, without formal education, made it where they are today.”

“For me, as an actress, you are playing a character, and to play that character, you have to get into that mindset.”

“Acting is my passion, but I like hosting shows, too.”

“When I'm not shooting, I like to spend time with friends and family.”

“A. L. Vijay asked if I could dance, and I just said yes. I didn't tell him the only dancing I had done was on nights out in Liverpool. He said he would arrange workshops and help me with the scripts and the language. He liked the fact that I was English but had an Indian look.”

“I fell in love with Nawaz on-screen after watching 'Gangs of Wasseypur.' So my love story starts with him from there. I was quite nervous to act alongside him. He is an excellent actor.”

“It is my job to step into different characters.”

“The negativity will always be there. I think that's for any actress or actor. But I think you've got to take it with a pinch of salt.”

“Learning Indian mannerisms, how to wear saris, and the language were a challenge.”

“I've got Indian looks, but there is nothing in my background.”

“I just don't do the treadmill; I hate that. I do Pilates and yoga. I've recently joined aerial Pilates; you're in the air and with straps. It's crazy fun.”

“When I first got a call for the movie, I couldn't believe that I am doing a film opposite Akshay Kumar. He is such a big superstar.”

“My dad did a radio show. I was on it when I was seven. So now you know that the showbiz bug bit me really early.”

“I had to pinch myself. I got the call and didn't expect it. And right up 'til nearly the end of filming, I was thinking, 'Am I actually doing a film with Akshay Kumar?' because I was a massive Akshay Kumar fan before, and the first film that I ever watched was his and Katrina's film, 'Namastey London.'”

“As an actor, I know it is my job to shape myself for a role - any role.”

“India has introduced me to my ultimate passion - acting. I don't plan to give it up, and I intend to stay here for a long, long time.”

“I look forward to Pond's products to deliver better skincare for girls everywhere.”

“Working with Shankar is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
