Failure actually makes you strong.
Neha Sharma
You know being an actor you have to deal with a lot of criticism which is not easy, and that leads to stress. So, you have to train your mind to deal with it.
I am happy to have done both 'Crook' and 'Kya Super Kool Hai Hum' but 'Crook' did not do well and one can't say what went wrong.
There are so many films which are my favorite in 100 years. There are legendary films like 'Bombay,' 'Dil Se,' and 'Guru' as I liked Abhishek Bachachan's performance in the film.
My personality is such that I mostly tend to imagine the worst case scenario, which stresses me out a lot.
For women, it is difficult because things are very male testosterone driven. Box office numbers are important and male stars tend to get them.
As an actor, there is so much more than just acting in the film. A lot of other things like networking and marketing is involved.
I try and run for at least 15 minutes daily or jump rope.
I'm still getting offers despite my movies not doing well. I feel a sense of gratitude.
Model Kate Moss, she looks fabulous in everything she wears.
I've been in this industry for nine years and I've done a fair share of films, but it's not been rewarding enough for me so far.
I planned for my first film 'Crook' - that it would be a smash hit and I would be an overnight sensation. You know how newcomers are, they live in this whole fairytale, like, 'Oh my God, everything's going to be so good and perfect.'
I always wanted to be a fashion designer, for as long as I can think of. Acting happened by chance, so I call it beginner's luck, actually. I am planning to carry on for as long as I can.
Two guys, one girl, and the mess they can create amongst themselves may be the oldest story in the book, but it can quite easily be refreshed given the right story and treatment.
I want to do different kinds of roles, and films that make a difference to my career.
Yes, I am a diehard romantic and passion is my second name.
I love reading beautiful stories. I love poems and yes, I fantasize about someone writing beautiful lines for me.
In a way, I do believe in a fairy-tale romance.
I always wanted to be a designer. It was when I started modelling for my college shows that I came under the spotlight.
Bollywood is a dream come true for me and I am not going to take anything for granted, that's for sure.
I have tried to maintain the variety in the characters I choose to play.
I like working in films that are different.
As an actor, one is always looking at doing interesting things... meatier roles... stories that turn out exactly the way on screen like when they were narrated to you.
I am not a very trained actor.
For me, it's always more exciting to play someone who is not at all like me.
I never choose scripts on the basis of whether the girl is like me. I don't want to play myself... I live with myself, and it isn't fun!
'Yamla Pagla Deewana 2' is a project which I feel will give me a good standing in Bollywood.
I am Salman Khan fan in real life too. I have always watched his movies first day, first show.
There are good days when I am disciplined and I follow my diet plan strictly and there are lazy days when I eat chocolates, doughnuts and ice creams.
I gain weight quickly on my lower abs and thighs so I work them out a lot more.
I gain and lose weight very easily, so it takes me a week to get back into the desired shape.
Success or failure is a part of life.
I have done six films, and so far what I have understood is that if you are not from a film family, you are not going to have everything arranged on a platter for you. You will have to strive for success, strive for every film and fight for another opportunity.
The reason I am in cinema is because of the passion I have for cinema.
I'm not trying to say that the work I have done in the past is path-breaking, but I have definitely tried to pick the best from what I was offered and being an outsider with no one to guide me I think I have done well.
I am really active on social media so yeah, I need a good smartphone.
I never thought 'Crook' wouldn't work with the audience - in fact, no actor ever has that in mind especially when it's a debut film. It was shocking initially but I had to move on.
'Kya Supercool'... is a mad comedy that sees me in a crazy role. I am thrilled with my role and the way I performed.
Choices had become limited post 'Crook' and I was being offered films that had me play second fiddle. I realized that would take me nowhere, so I waited.
Working with the Bhatts is something I'll always cherish.
It's disappointing when you put in hard work in a film and it doesn't work.
I am not against kissing on-screen but I definitely do not want to be written about for the number of kisses I have had on screen.
I want to do good work. The first failure affected me. That is why I did 'Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum.'
You have to have box office success because only then will people show interest in you.
I don't think it is about talent or looks, it is primarily about box office success.
In 'Solo,' I play a girl, who is full of life. Since it is a bilingual, the character has two names in two languages.
Acting in 'Solo' has truly been a wonderful and blissful journey for me.
As actors, we are selfish. When listening to a story, we think of the significance of our character in that story.
In college, students would do modeling to earn money. I was also doing the same.
I think all girls are Shah Rukh Khan fans.
