There are some films that you know will do well. Then there are others which have good stories that ought to be told. But because they are slightly risky, not everybody is willing to take that up. But I think it is important to take risks because at the end of the day, you want to explore new genres and new characters.

I am a loner so I prefer traveling alone.

I think modelling comes naturally to me as I have done it for a long time.

Time Tim Think

I did modelling for five years, then I felt I wanted to do something different and challenging.

I grew up in South Mumbai and I am a total homebody, so I was not seen around. I guess that's the reason many believed that I wasn't Indian or can't speak Hindi.

I love paranthas, I love butter chicken, and I love everything that I shouldn't love.

Love Very Utter

I would like all the trolls to look at their bodies instead of trolling others. What is ironic is the fact that it is easy to criticise sitting behind your computer, in complete anonymity, about other people. on the basis of their appearances but very difficult to introspect and look within themselves.

The bonds of friendship that I forged in my college days are still going strong.

I just protect the people that I love a lot, and want to keep them away from anything negative.

When I see a great film I do wish I was part of it, that happens.

I am hoping good roles will come my way after the success of 'Happy.'

For me, my phone is a one-stop shop; I do everything on my phone - email, browsing, listening to music, reading, navigation and using smart apps. Maps, I use that a lot. I think that's the best app ever.

I don't believe in extreme diets. For me, staying away from sugar and processed foods, eating home-cooked meals and exercising regularly is the key.

Working and modelling in New York was definitely a life changing experience for me.

I listen to a lot of music and since I have to travel a lot, all my music is on my phone.

For me, 'Parmanu' was an awakening of sorts. The film is about a covert mission. It's sometimes unbelievable that we get to recreate a part of history and live an incident that made history and changed the way our country was perceived.

Time History Change

I like to keep my close people private because I respect their privacy as well. That's my train of thoughts. I'm very fiercely protective of the people that I love the most.

Respect Love Well

Box office success definitely matters. I will be lying if say it does not matter.

I'm a fiercely private person in general, and like to keep my personal life personal.

I like to do some research and learn about the destination before I travel there. I read up on its history, culture and food, which is most important. Being informed makes the travel so much better.

I won't sign a film thinking, 'Oh my God! I don't have a film so I've got to sign one real quickly.'

Shiddat' is a beautiful story of love and the strong bonds between people. It is pure and intense and also very relatable. I am usually not a love story kind of person, but when I heard the script, it moved me a lot.

Diana Penty

The time that I took between 'Cocktail' and 'Happy Bhaag Jayegi,' a lot of people told me, 'out of sight is out of mind,' and I was like 'Okay, maybe.' And it did happen. Because I wasn't around, people just assumed I was doing other things and was not interested in films which I thought was unfair.

Diana Penty

I am not starry. I am your everyday girl, with not so everyday aspirations in life.

Diana Penty

Every woman is beautiful in her own way and I don't know why people have norms and ideas on how beauty is perceived.

Diana Penty

Since I am not from a film family, I come with a different perspective. I come from a regular world. Of course, there's not always the help and assistance you'd get if you were from a filmi family, but I really didn't miss that.

Diana Penty

I started modelling in college, but it was part time since I was kind of nerdy and wanted to finish my studies.

Diana Penty

I love challenging myself; it's what keeps me going.

Diana Penty

I try to be as healthy as possible. But the problem for me is that I'm a huge foodie. I mean, I'm literally passionate about food. I love trying new restaurants, new cuisine. It just makes me really happy. So it's very difficult for me to eat completely healthy.

Diana Penty

I used to love doing the runway shows when I was a model and I miss that sometimes now. But it's great to go back to it every now and then as 'showstopper.'

Diana Penty

I have roots in Jabalpur and that's as Indian as it can get.

I think it is up to each one of us to find the time and strike a balance between work and our personal life.

I have always aimed at maintaining a healthy balance with respect to all aspects of my life.

I spent a lot of my school vacations in Devlali because my grandparents lived in the cantonment there.

Diana Penty

I remember my dad bought me my first phone when I finished school. I was a fresher in college, and at that time, it was mainly to keep a track of what I was doing and where I was going.

Diana Penty

I'm generally soft spoken, very measured, and I think 500 times before I say something.

Diana Penty

I don't want to be part of films that are easily forgotten.

Diana Penty

I go to the gym four days a week, and focus on my upper body and lower body on alternate days. I also do a lot of free style exercises such as stretching and squatting.

Diana Penty

I find the best birthday plans are the unplanned ones.

Diana Penty

I actually live to eat.

Diana Penty

Sometimes you wake up with mini panic attacks where you feel like 'Oh my God! I don't have a film right now! Should I just do something that comes my way because I don't have another film?' But I feel at the end of the day, your gut takes over.

Diana Penty

Luckily I'm blessed with decent genes. But, that can change anytime. I know that it's just not healthy to eat unhealthy. I do workout, and have gotten into quite a fixed routine of Pilates and strength training. And it's not so much about the weight, but also about being healthy.

Diana Penty

I had a sense of pride for the armed forces from the time I was a child because of my grandfather. He taught me to salute. He told me that every time I see army personnel, I should salute as a mark of respect.

Diana Penty

I signed 'Lucknow Central' because it was a story I wanted to be part of. I still stand by the fact that it was a well written, well directed film with some great performances.

Diana Penty

A thriller or an action movie would entice me. A sportsperson or a musician's biopic sounds exciting, too.

Diana Penty

Even something light, such as walking, jogging, cycling or swimming, and staying away from junk food is good enough to keep you healthy.

Diana Penty

I'm open to different kinds of roles, characters and genres.

Diana Penty

It takes me a while to make friends as I take time to get to know people.

Diana Penty

It's partly true that I am not seen that often in public. Well, I'm just socially awkward, especially around people I'm not familiar with. But once you get to know me, I'm quite a chatterbox.
