Nikita Dutta

“I am a bit of a psycho when it comes to food.”

“When a show ends, I need some time to chill, as I feel that I have grown five years older after doing it! I need at least a month to rejuvenate. This happens with Indian TV shows. If you do a show continuously for more than a year, you feel 10 years older.”

“Every piece of work has been a learning experience.”

“Indian television is unpredictable.”

“I was on bed rest because of a fracture for about three months. 'Kabir Singh' happened immediately after that. So it was a good way to get back to work after a break.”

“Fitness is not about being better than someone else, but it is about being better than what you used to be!”

“It is not easy to participate in the 21 km. marathon. It takes a lot of energy, determination, and will power. It takes months to train to reach that mark with a proper diet chart.”

“There's so many people involved in making a film.”

“Not only in our family, where our relatives keep putting us down, but even in this modern urbanized culture, we girls put our fellow girls down by judging them.”

“Whether it's TV shows or the films that I've done, it's always a priority for me that the entire script should be good.”

“As a person, I don't feel insecure about most things in life. From relationships, friendships to work, I am quite at peace in my head.”

“It's in my blood to welcome all possible challenges. So something that makes me step out of my comfort zone is what I love doing.”

“I didn't do anything productive during my break after 'Dream Girl.' I didn't even take a vacation!”

“It feels great pleasure and honour to be associated with a film like 'Gold.' I have always believed in meaningful cinema, and this movie was one such opportunity.”

“There are two sides always - when something works, it is hailed, but when something doesn't, it is all criticism.”

“My idea of chilling is to detox, and after you complete a project, there's so much to unlearn and start afresh.”

“I was in a play called 'Hood.' I was an extra in 'Passion of the Christ.' I did corporate videos, commercials, little university short films. Just anything that I could be a part of, really.”

“I am like the huge percentage of Indians who follow majorly cricket when it comes to sports.”

“The industry is such - there is no guarantee that a show would work only because it is airing.”

“I always prioritize quality over quantity of work.”
