Actress

I love the fact that my hair has a life of its own.

I wanted to act and do good work with good people. I wanted to be a part of good content. That was my only ambition. So I made the most of the opportunities that came to me.

I love lipsticks and have quite a collection.

I want to concentrate on movies. Bollywood is my priority, but that doesn't mean I will stop working on series. I want to do both.

If there's one thing that precedes my sleep, it's my work.

I sing all the time, and my co-actors from theatre arena feel that my choice of songs and timing is bad - not that I pay heed, though.

I love to experiment and take every opportunity as a challenge.

I wouldn't attribute everything to luck. I think I am very hardworking, and nothing discounts hard work for anything.

I try not to take pressure because that it just stresses you out.

The cutest part is that both my grandparents have tried to adapt to my dream. When I sat them down and showed them a film that I did - with an intimate scene in it - I was surprised that their reaction wasn't dramatic. My grandmother even came to me to ask, 'How do you do it?'

I believe, as an actor, I want to tell stories.

I cannot watch my performance as an audience because whenever I watch anything that I am a part of, I watch critically.

It is immensely motivating to be given so much love and appreciation on IMDb, which is the biggest database for movies and celebrities in the world.

I wouldn't attribute everything to luck. I think I am very hardworking, and nothing discounts hard work for anything.

When I was young, my parents bought a house in Vasai, but because it was inconvenient for us all to travel, they sent my sister and I to live with our nana-nani at Dadar.

You have to put in an effort in everything that you do, and you cannot just sit around expecting something to happen.

I knew I wanted to be an actor but didn't know how to go about it. That's why my ambition, initially, was not to play a lead role in a Bollywood film.

At a Metro station, I got called out by my character name - Meera - and I realised that I had started responding to that quite intuitively. It was quite a funny moment.

I just want to improve as an actor, and I am also fond of dancing and learning musical instruments.

I'm a hopeless romantic and a believer in handwritten letters.
