I believe in throwing a lot of positive energy in the universe and hope for the best.
Vaani Kapoor
You have moments when you sulk, when you crib and cry and feel that, 'why me and why all these things are happening with me.' We are only human. It's about facing your fear and not giving up because you are the only person who will support yourself at the end of the day and if you dont do that than nobody else will.
Education is the key to a bright future.
My internship with Oberoi hotels and later working with the ITC group in Jaipur helped me get a better exposure; I got to meet expatriates and get acquainted with people from different parts of the country.
I'd like to believe that I'm chic yet cool and casual.
I want to work with happy, good people, who have a positive outlook. Not those who are grumpy, complaining and throw diva behaviour.
I will leave no stone unturned as far as hard work is concerned.
I don't think 'Befikre' is frivolous at all. Yes, the film is light-hearted. Shyra and Dharam are free-spirited but that doesn't mean they are obnoxious.
On Diwali, my parents, friends, cousins - everyone used to assemble at our home, where we used to have a Diwali mela.
I am a bad planner, I cannot really plan my future, so I am keeping my expectations very grounded.
I am ambitious and passionate and that in itself is drive. My work gives me happiness.
I think I have started to take life as it comes and quite uninhibitedly, without being repressed by the expectations of the society.
All of us are hungry to be a part of great stories. There are some fortunate ones who get it early in their career, and there are some, for whom it takes a little while to get to be even considered for a part which could be promising.
You can be accepted in a film which is amazing, and the same person can be rejected in another film whose content does not resonate with people.
Ni Main Yaar Manana Ni' is a cult classic and also one of my favourite songs from a Yash Chopra movie. The song is about never giving up on one's love and I connected instantly with it when I first heard it.
I have cats, dogs, monkeys and ducks at home - it's like a mini zoo.
I'd like to do an action film, a full-on comedy film, family dramas and a soulful romantic film.
All that is in my hand is to give my best shot.
I really wanted to do 'Band Baaja Baraat.' No regrets though, I did its remake in Tamil and felt a little content.
I really miss how we used to celebrate Diwali when I was a kid.
I always had a thought about acting but it never seemed practical to take it as an option because I do not have acting or theatre background.
I had to go through a grilling process to meet Mr. Aditya Chopra. It took a lot of time and auditioning.
I hope people like me in the film and love the film because I think 'Befikre' is a very sweet film.
Honestly, in life you should take situations day by day. You never know what comes your way. I just like to go along with my instincts and be a part of the kind of work I like.
I know Anushka Sharma and Parineeti Chopra. So it would be fun to do a film with them.
My parents support and trust me a lot. They know I would never do anything that will be wrong for me and even if it is, they know I would be smart enough to own up and take a stand for myself, be responsible with what I'm doing.
When I was signed by Elite Model Agency, my mom felt it was the right place as it was a professional agency.
I want to feel happy doing a good film and don't want to look at cinema with a materialistic yardstick.
Everybody dates these days. Like you get to know someone before you end up getting married, committing for a lifetime relationship. So dating is cool, date as much as you want, get to know the person.
I think 'Befikre' has got a polarised response. Some people absolutely loved it and some didn't feel connected with the film. I feel the film is a little bit ahead of its time.
Fashion is something that comes and goes. What remains is your style and that's nothing but an extension of your personality that you are showcasing via your clothes.
I don't think about who is doing what, but give my 100 per cent to whatever is coming to me.
Anything that is soothing and nice to my eyes, I pick that up, I don't follow a particular trend. I follow being effortless and not make a statement.
I have always followed my heart, my dreams and thankfully God has been kind.
I never give in to pressure.
I think kids don't like me much. Even my nephew used to cry when he was a kid and I used to go close to him. I don't know what they are sensing from me, I have only love to give.
When you feel low and down, you don't know whom to talk to and go out with.
There are certain filmmakers who look at the kind of work you have been a part of or if you come with a baggage of bad films.
I had a sheltered childhood.
For all those, who ever think of giving up and give in what others have to say, I would say hold onto your dream and watch it come alive, just like mine.
I just want to be a part of something exciting, that's all.
Ideally, I want my films to work because I want the people who have invested their money to get back their investment and make profits too.
I have lost weight; my face is bound to look different.
No, I am very old school. Everybody has a different definition of old school today. But yes, I do feel that I would like to meet, know a person before taking it forward. I am not the casual hook-up types.
I'm happy that my parents were supportive. They never really pressurised me into going ahead with just about anything.
I don't stay in the constant worried and over-thinking zone.
Yes, I come from a protective family. I wasn't even allowed to sleep over at a friend's place as a child.
I don't believe in casual dating; I would rather be in a proper relationship.
I want to be a part of the best movies that are being made, and to work with the best directors.
I don't want to end up being dependent on anyone.
