Meera Chopra

“When you shoot for something for three days, you get into that character.”

“It's not easy to say no to work when you have absolutely no work. But I had faith in myself, which kept me going.”

“Whoever I met in the industry welcomed me with open arms.”

“Every girl who is trying to be independent and trying to make it here goes through highs and lows... when you are going through a low, you have nobody around you.”

“I'm North Indian and Punjabi-ness is in my blood. Working in a Hindi film just makes me feel more confident.”

“I think every new girl that comes to this industry has faced predatory behaviour. You meet people who will call you for late-night dinners. They will give hints to your manager; they will start harassing you on Whatsapp.”

“I'm looking forward to do female-centric films.”

“Yes, I am in touch with Priyanka Chopra but not very often. There was more communication between us before she shifted to the US. However, she knows what is happening in my life and with my work.”

“Working with Akshaye Khanna and Richa Chadha was amazing. I am a huge fan of Akshaye sir.”

“After '1920 London', a lot of the offers I got were good but wouldn't have made any difference to my life or career.”

“Just because I look a certain way, I was getting only those roles where I had to look hot and glamorous. And I kept rejecting them.”

“I wanted to be a designer but I guess destiny had other plans for me and I became an actor.”

“As an actor, I love doing projects that shake you to the core.”
