“Sudheer Varma is very easy going and very confident director. He knows exactly what he wants. He has a very good vision and knows how many shots he wants for a scene. He is super fast. He gives freedom for actors to try different things. The atmosphere on the sets was never serious. We had great fun working together.”

“I am very instinctive when it comes to a script.”

“I feel that modelling has groomed my personality and made me a confident person, but even today, when I go on the ramp, I get nervous. I am more comfortable being in front of the camera than walking on the ramp.”

“In the mornings, I use a good moisturiser and a colouring lip balm. In the evenings, though, I like to go a little glam.”

“I'm an independent woman and a feminist.”

“'Dilwale' has increased my audience reach; I have gained in every way possible.”

“I think education is something that is very important no matter what you are doing. It makes you feel secure, independent, and helps you build confidence in yourself. It grooms your whole personality. So if it starts from the basic level; if the basic education that a girl and a boy receive is the same, I think a lot will change.”

“My career is doing well both in Tollywood as well as Bollywood.”

“I actually moved from engineering to acting. I think what's important is how talented and passionate you are.”

“I want to play a character with grey shades.”

“Categorisation of actors has become outdated now.”

“The industry has been very warm and welcoming, especially since I am an outsider.”

“I will always choose to work in a movie based on whether I would want to watch it - if I would be willing to spend money in a theatre on it. The script and the people you will work with come after that.”

“The first film is very important, and one needs to choose the right kind of debut project. I also think the second film is equally important, as it needs to be a notch higher.”

“I would love to do a biopic on Madhubala. She was very pretty. I really admire her.”

“Modelling was never a career option for me; it was always a hobby. I was modelling while I was pursuing my B.Tech, so the obvious choice after finishing my studies was to do a job. But while I was modelling and doing TV commercials, I really loved being in front of the camera. I enjoyed the shooting process.”

“It's sad to be constantly judged for every move you make after your first success. If you wear your hair differently, you have changed.”

“When you don't come from a film background, getting the right debut is important and difficult, as you don't have the sensibility to know what will work and what won't.”

“I would never do anything that's derogatory to women.”

“I don't know how I would react to the casting couch. I'm sure that at that moment, you won't really know what to do. Whatever you do at that moment is instinctive.”
