A biography for Rakul Preet Singhhasn’t been written yet.
“I did modelling for a year, but then I always wanted to be an actress.”
“For newcomers, modelling is like a stepping stone to acting. The exposure and experience in modelling helps... But for acting, we have to show a lot of hard work and dedication towards it.”
“I am blessed to have worked in big-budget films at an early stage of my career.”
“I am not in a hurry to do Hindi films. If it is destined, when it has to happen, it will.”
“For me, fitness is not just about hitting the gym; it is also about an inner happiness and an overall well-being.”
“People ask if success changes one overnight. I am just doing my job, and I worked way too hard to get here. I didn't get it easy.”
“If I don't get healthy food, my staff cooks for me.”
“I was a filmy kid. I was two when I faced the camera for the first time. My parents realised it pretty early, and I'm really thankful to them for their support and help.”
“I never feel insecure when there are two female leads.”
“I think there is an army clock ticking in me. I value time. I always want to be on time. I don't complain about things, saying, 'There is no caravan here,' etc. For example, they could only arrange a tent on the location of 'Pareshanu Raa'. I understand the importance of money. I respect my work a lot. Not that I am the only one who works hard.”
“I consider Rashi Khanna and Regina Cassandra as my best friends. They say there are three Rs in the Telugu industry: Rakul, Rashi, and Regina. All three of us debuted in the same year, and while we all compete for the same roles, we are still the closest, and we confide in each other.”
“In 10 months, I was replaced from three films. That's when I realised I need to take my work seriously. It's a blessing I didn't get things easy. If I had, I wouldn't realise the value of success.”
“I used to get 2000 as pocket money, and I was being offered a car and an opportunity to make lakhs, so I said a yes. I was a kid and got homesick over my 40-day schedule in Bangalore and decided that I would only do films in the South if they were 10-day roles.”
“I think female-centric films shouldn't be only about thriller or horror. Angelina Jolie has been doing all kinds of stuff.”
“My first film would have been 'Rough,' and it got delayed. 'Venkatadri Express' released first and became a big success. I signed 'Venkatadri' after 15 days of shooting for 'Rough'. I had lot of faith in the script, and I feel luck plays a major part.”
“I love being in Hyderabad, as I never get bored like I do in Mumbai.”
“I was a national level golf player. I gave up golf after a while when I wanted to model, as I would tan while playing it. I love watching movies and hanging out with my friends in Delhi.”
“Hindi film and southern film industries are doing well when it comes to technical know how. By and large, they are pretty similar and are close knit industries.”
“I learnt tennis, swimming, basketball and several others, but the sport I loved the most was golf.”
“I'm a big foodie and would love to indulge in such things. I've been to many restaurants in the city, and although I can't eat often, I know what's available where.”
