I encourage people to take the road less travelled, explore the abundant off-beat locations. Take road trips, soak in some breathtaking experiences, and enjoy the scenic landscapes that our country has to offer.

I make money not so much from acting but my travelogue.
We live in a very classist society, and it's sad and depressing.
A troll is only as powerful as your response to them. Once you respond to them or let them instigate you, then you've given them power.
I do not take up films where I have nothing to do.
Being just an actor would be quite frustrating.
The different foods and cultures and geography and art - I could spend my lifetime traveling around India and still not fully know it.
I am one of those people who go with the flow, and thus, I have no goal in life.
I'm fun, vibrant, and full of energy.
I don't think people watch too much TV anymore. I don't.
Women should be able to choose where they want to work in the industry and how they want to be represented on screen.
I want to be a bi-continental working actor and writer.
I want to host and write a 'Sex in the City'-type travel show.
I would love to do more Indian films.
We women are the same: I am always more attracted to the dangerous mystery man with piercing eyes and stubble rather than the clean-shaven 'puppy dog' type who is probably much better for me in the long run.
I love acting, but I like a lot of other things as well.
My life has become a series of planes, trains, and automobiles with some occasional downtime at a hotel.
We live in a world where people consume most of their information on the cell phones. Anyone promoting a film or TV series is well served if they can create an active social media experience. It's the reality of the modern world.
Very bad roles were coming my way, and I didn't want to do them. Hence, I was doing small films like 'Delhi Belly,' where, though the footage wasn't long, the role was good.
Everyone thinks living abroad is fun... The ideal life. Take it from me - it's tough.
I know I'm in a 'jack of all, master of none' situation, but I like it that way.
It is really sad, as Delhi is our capital and one of the most beautiful places in India, but if a city can't make its women feel safe, then everything else is worthless.
I watch everything online... I consume so much media through Instagram and Facebook, too.
Nepotism exists - not just in Bollywood but in every profession in India.
I don't dream small. But then, what are we without our dreams?
I can easily be lying in the gutter with someone kicking mud in my face tomorrow as easily as I can float in the clouds with angels sprinkling fairy dust in my hair. So, I make an effort to treat both success and failure equally.
I'm a curry and rice girl.
I don't drink coffee: it makes me cuckoo!
Hate American toilets with only toilet paper and no bidets.
I'm not a fighter, I'm a lover.
My sister and I were driving at night and were followed by guys on a bike. It was a terrifying experience. The ordeal made us start a chauffeur service.
After my first ad, I was flooded with offers, which I took up. Soon, I decided that it could be a lucrative business with a parallel college life.
I remember, the first few times I modelled, other girls laughed at my big behind. I felt like a fat pig, even though I really wasn't. When you are 15 and other girls nick-name you a 'little piggy' and 'fatty,' you believe them.
'Main Aur Mr. Riight' is about a girl who is looking for perfection. She strives for perfection herself and is searching for a partner who is the same. The film is about her journey.
Yashraj liked my writing style, and they had a concept in mind, so they hired me to write. That's how 'Luv Ka The End' was born. It was fantastic working with them. They are very professional. For the first time, I did not have to ask for my cheque. It was sent home, in time.
My career as an actress in the U.S. is actually taking off quite well.
Actually, acting and hosting shows just happened on the way, and I will do it 'til it lasts and then concentrate on writing.
I have nothing against the film industry, but my mom asked me to do anything but act.
I worried about whether acting in Bollywood was my cup of tea - whether I could live up to it. But I enjoyed the filmi jhatkas.
In college, they taught us to think of a bad smell or simulate a bad taste to start crying. I just think of my ex-boyfriend!
Lee Strasberg taught me different ways in which a scene can be approached so that it is perfect. Acting schools also open you up - you react differently to each scene. It makes you a very reactive person.
I enjoy acting, and I would love to do a play in the future.
I think you should do what you like, and luckily, I am able to make money out of them.
I've been covering all four corners of the country in connection with promoting sustainable and responsible tourism. So not only am I just travelling, I am travelling responsibly.
I am travelling to different places and talking to people about travelling litter-free, observing the wildlife, and respecting the host.
Everything in my life happened by coincidence. Even my role in 'Delhi Belly.'
Hosting is pretty natural to me, since I was doing it as a kid.
Road trips are amazing because you get to see the true India from a street level and interact with people from different states that have so much pride in their local heritage, food, and customs.
Comedy is one of my strengths.
I believe in accepting whatever life offers with a laugh. So if things are dark and terrible, I try to find the funny side to it. Probably that's why I gravitate towards comedy.
