I don't think that independent or off-beat films are not commercial, nor do I want to categorise them. At the end of the day, what matters is how much you compromise to please the masses. But, I am not someone who loves compromising. If there's a lot to give up on things that matter to me, I start losing interest.

As we know, menstrual hygiene is an issue women have been facing over the years. It's great that the initiative to provide low-cost sanitary napkins has been undertaken. It is an empowering step for many women.

Professionalism and punctuality are extremely important, especially in the career path I've chosen. Being on sets, film schedules can be very stringent and tight. They are sometimes at odd hours in various locations. Being there when you're called just ensures that the day starts smoothly.

Even if you are born with a silver spoon, you have to work hard. I mean, you could be offered films on a platter, but if you don't get up in the morning and learn your lines, it is not going to work.

When in doubt, always wear black.

I have never celebrated Valentine's Day in my life.

You get negative comments even if you are not talking. So you can't be scared of negative comments from people.

I am on social media to connect with my fans, but when I'm out on the streets, I don't even wear make-up. I'm in my chappals, on my own, and I like that.

Mentioning the word 'menstruation' has always been a taboo in India. People always shy away from talking about menstruation hygiene, and the awareness about the topic is very dismal.

A lot goes in my mind while choosing a role. Choosing unconventional roles is not a conscious decision. I choose the most exciting and challenging role from the options I have.

I am a very hyper person and always get pre-occupied with something.

The thing is, if one person recognises you and takes a picture, then four other people who don't even know you want to do the same.

If you go to Canada or Los Angeles, you will get to see many South Asians there, but on screens, they are so less in number. It is abnormal not to have much South Asians on screens.

I don't mind doing genre roles as long as they offer me something substantial.

Bollywood is a business more than an art industry. One has to play the game others play to carve your own path.

I do get a lot of offers for endorsing a brand, but for me, the credibility of the brand matters the most.

I do social media largely for work because I want to be a part of different activities. In India, that's how you make money, so I do it as my job.

Gender discrimination is not the only form of discrimination one has to deal with.

I feel art has the power to bind us.

I find it very important to keep learning because, as an actor, you get exhausted. You need more emotion, more experience... you need something to base everything on.
