Vaani Kapoor

“I am grateful to my mother for insisting that I complete my education.”

“I have a long list of filmmakers I want to work with. But I have also always had this touch of reality, that if it doesn't happen, it's okay.”

“A part of me always wanted to be an actor.”

“I think kids don't like me much. Even my nephew used to cry when he was a kid and I used to go close to him. I don't know what they are sensing from me, I have only love to give.”

“My parents support and trust me a lot. They know I would never do anything that will be wrong for me and even if it is, they know I would be smart enough to own up and take a stand for myself, be responsible with what I'm doing.”

“There are certain filmmakers who look at the kind of work you have been a part of or if you come with a baggage of bad films.”

“I feel everybody gets trolled. There is no one who hasn't got trolled on social media. I guess trolling has become norm of social media where people enjoy belittling everybody.”

“Failure is something which everybody has to face. It is part of life.”

“I do realise I need to expand my social circle so I can meet more people.”

“I want to be a part of the best movies that are being made, and to work with the best directors.”

“No, I am very old school. Everybody has a different definition of old school today. But yes, I do feel that I would like to meet, know a person before taking it forward. I am not the casual hook-up types.”

“I am a bad planner, I cannot really plan my future, so I am keeping my expectations very grounded.”

“I auditioned several times before I got the part in 'Shuddh Desi Romance.'”

“Since 'Shamshera' is set in a particular time, the dance sequences require me to have a very Indian, very classical body language, which is why I started taking kathak classes to learn the nuances and the grace.”

“In Mumbai, I don't know many people. I only know colleagues.”

“Loyalty is very important to me.”

“You cannot be laid back at any given time and think 'you have made it.' You need to have your head on your shoulders and have the right attitude. Your attitude is extremely important.”

“I don't think I am one of the fashionable actresses in Bollywood but I know what suits me and my body type.”

“I don't have a very strong notion about anything when it comes to fashion. I am okay experimenting but I know that I don't experiment.”

“In my free time, I do travel, watch films and learn on the go.”
