“If something is done without objectifying, it can be beautiful.”

“The difference between playing a positive and a negative role is only in the portrayal.”

“I'm always game for movies based on time travel. Hopefully, someday, I'll be a part of a time travel series of films.”

“Zumba is so energising and refreshing. It's totally fun. My face turns red at the end of the session, and I feel like I am ready to take over the world.”

“A guy should always pursue the girl.”

“I am not taking home any of the characters I play on screen.”

“I think, for an artiste, it's important to be aware of world cinema.”

“I have several Gujarati friends in Mumbai, and I keep eating from their tiffin boxes whenever we meet. I love Gujarati food!”

“It's better to play negative lead roles than portray just any other character on the show.”

“Even though half of my stint in 'Balika Vadhu' was positive, people majorly remembered me for the negative part I played initially.”

“Good movies are my weakness. I have seen several international movies ranging from English to Spanish, German, Russian, Japanese, and Chinese.”
