Your fashion depends on who you are and you should wear clothes according to who you are. You should also be comfortable in what you wear.
I dress according to my mood. Some days I don't want to dress up, while some days I want to look great and so I make an extra effort to put on some Kajal and beautiful dresses, but it all depends on my mood.
Even for digestion, I boil aijwain, jeera, ginger and lemon in water and drink it all day.
Home remedies are the best.

It's quite a layered character that I portray in 'Jalebi' and I needed to deviate and cut-off completely from the world to get into a different zone as a character. I'm really glad it proved beneficial and worked to my advantage.

I don't believe I am hot. But I think if you keep your body in shape, work out and look after yourself, it helps.
There are so many people who are trying their luck in films and only a few of those actors get to do films and choose to be an actor. The stakes are always high here. It's hard in the sense that it's very uncertain.
I am continuing to do lead roles and that is where I am actually headed, but doing cameos is also a fun experience.
My father was in the Army so I have lived all over India.

If I was offered a Salman Khan or a Shah Rukh Khan film, I would have signed it. No one says no to that.
Through the auditions and the process of 'Sonali Cable,' I realised that I want to be an actor.

As actors, we do have certain powers. I want to use them for the right cause.
The industry confines us in boxes, but we have to prove that we are women of substance.
People told me, 'you can't do intense characters.' Some said 'you look too commercial,' and I would wonder what a 'commercial look' is.
