Nia Sharma

“If I feel I am not doing something right, I express it to people and to the media, too. I wouldn't shy away from that. It's healthy to interact. What you see is what you get with me.”

“Spaniards are fun-loving people, and they love to dance to Punjabi songs for some reason. They didn't understand the language but enjoyed the beats.”

“Why are people making it so difficult for girls to live the way they want to in India? Let's not make India a place where a girl has to think 10 times before going out or wearing what she wants.”

“Life's too short to wear boring clothes and apply boring lipsticks, and BTW, I loved my blue lipstick.”

“I am Nia - I have certain traits of my own, and I won't mind telling people that I am a short tempered, immature, silly, normal girl who does mistakes very unlike the sanskari bahu on screen.”

“I like to style myself and aim to wear the coolest of clothes that I can lay my hands on! It's my conscious effort to look different and dress up funky. I feel elated that people notice the crazy things I do.”

“'Ek Hazaaron Mein' turned out to be my identity, it made me Nia Sharma in the industry.”

“Everyone appreciates me for my honesty. Why shouldn't I speak my mind? I will not say I am blunt. I don't speak about others.”

“I never thought that I would become Nia Sharma. I never imagined I would end up earning this much money. I never thought I would earn this much in my entire life.”

“Learning how to swim is the biggest achievement for me, as it helped me get rid of hydrophobia. Now I have become a complete water baby.”

“When you go for a vacation, you hit the usual spots, but staying in a country for over a month is a different experience altogether.”

“TV isn't a wide medium when it comes to boldness on the small screen because of the audience. It reaches out to the audience but keeping the traditions intact.”

“The only medium where people are truly exploring themselves and going out to experiment is the digital space.”

“There is not much money in web series as compared to what I make on TV. And that is a fact. So I would love to make money at a time when I am getting my price.”

“The kind of crazy amount of fan following that I achieved from 'Ek Hazaaron Mein' was amazing. We used to get i-Pads as gift, Abercrombie and Fitch dresses from America. I had everything in the world.”

“TV stars don't know how to dress up, and they have to hire a stylist. This is true to a great extent. That's why I go out of my way to experiment. Sometimes I hit the bullseye, sometimes I miss.”

“I played a bahu for six years on-screen. I really wanted to come out of that.”

“I just want to look better by each passing day.”

“I am really conscious about what I wear and how I look. I am glad that media has acknowledged this. Over the years, I have really groomed myself.”

“It's good to be in the news for whatever reason. I can't pretend that I am not enjoying the attention. Being popular is a good thing.”
