I find it very hard to approach people. I take a very long time to open up and become friends with someone.
— Kriti Kharbanda
Ideally, as an actor, we all crave attention, appreciation, and to be recognised. What's the point of doing it yourself? It needs to come from someone else, and when that happens, I enjoy that moment.
I think that Delhi Metro has made things convenient for people, and we must credit the government for that. The Metro network that they have built in the city without disturbing any infrastructure is amazing.
I have apparently become a sequel queen because of films 'Raaz: Reboot,' 'Guest-Iin-London,' 'Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se' and 'Housefull 4.'
Doing comedy was liberating in a way.
While acting, you just go with the flow of what you are feeling, but dubbing requires recreating and reliving those emotions all over again. So it's very necessary to match up to the performance in front of the camera.
Direction is always on my wish list.
Even if someone were to take me out on a date, I have a 'touch me not' air about me. I don't like people who take things too fast nor the ones who take forever to open up to me.
You discover who you truly are only when you live alone.
For a tiny person, I have a lot of confidence. No one messes with me!
Never in my wildest dreams I thought I would work with Dharmendra sir. I remember the first selfie I took with him, I posted on our family WhatsApp group. My father couldn't stop beaming with joy. I could feel it. Everytime I see them proud, it makes everything so worth it.
I would love to do more Hindi films, but I am very laid-back that way and wouldn't go looking for more films.
I've been travelling around moving from one movie set to another... it's been back-breaking, but am not complaining.
I feel that bad people exist everywhere. I've always maintained that it is not the industry that is good or bad: it's the people.
I have become limitless and stronger. You don't need that attitude to survive in Bollywood, but when you are doing a film like 'Raaz,' you can't go on set with inhibitions.
'Veerey Ki Wedding' is a comedy of errors in more ways than one. It's one of those basic, perky comedies. We're not trying to give out a message or anything.
The longer you experience a scene, you tend to accept what's going on.
I don't know how any film can bother you. It doesn't have to do with multi-starrer films. If you are insecure, you can feel insecure being the only girl also.
I feel really honoured and happy to be part of the P. C. Chandra team. It's my first jewellery endorsement, and because I have also studied jewellery design, it's something very close to my heart, and I feel very happy being associated with the brand.
Comedy is not an easy genre.
After dubbing my lines for the first time, I'd say it's more difficult than performing in front of the camera.
'Raaz Reboot' doesn't have extreme boldness, but I was apprehensive about the kissing scenes.
My mom is my best friend. I tell her everything from what's going on in my life and my work to my love life.
For someone like me who gets bored very easily, this life is perfect. I can't be at one place for too long. Travelling broadens your thinking as a person and as an actor.
With time, I am getting to work with actors who are known for their work. I am liking that, enjoying every bit, and I want to soak it all in.
The only Bollywood dream I have is to meet Shah Rukh Khan once.
People don't come to the theatres to watch a kiss. It's the story that appeals to them.
If you're not vulnerable, and you're too headstrong and clear about the path you want to take, it won't help you grow. Vulnerability doesn't have to be a negative thing. If you take the right spin on it, it can be extremely positive.
Don't be naive and allow a man to take advantage of you.
I have changed so much, post-'Raaz,' as a person.
I could have been insecure in 'Yamla Pagla'... if I wanted to be. With three actors who are amazing beyond belief and are a brand themselves, they don't even need me. They made sure that I was part of it. It's about the people whom you meet. They make you secure or insecure. It's their attitude. I have been very fortunate.
I have been a big fan of Dulquer. I have watched a lot of his films... 'O Kadhal Kanmani' being my favourite.
Even if I do get stereotyped, I would like to think that it is more of a challenge because if you are given one character and asked to play in 10 different ways, it says more about me as an actor.
Pawan Wadeya's 'Googly' gave me a new lease of life in Kannada cinema. I feel blessed that way. There's been no looking back since.
When I started playing tennis in Class V, I used to be the only girl on the court along with 20-odd boys. So, I am used to being in the company of boys. In fact, I have very few girlfriends, and even my besties are boys; I find it much easier to get along with them.
I'm truly excited to be a part of two successful franchises - 'Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se' and now 'Housefull 4.'
It was nothing less than a dream come true shooting with Farah Khan.
I've lost count of the number of saris I have. I can assure you that you will never catch me repeating a style of sari or a blouse ever. I love wearing them, and I have a sari for every occasion.
I'm a loner, and I'm most comfortable living by myself, but Bengaluru is home for me, as my family is there. Having said that, once you come to Mumbai, you can't turn your back on it. I've grown close to Mumbai now.
'Guest Iin London' didn't work, but it got me more work; it helped me grow as an actor.
I never expected 'Theen Maar' to have such a great opening. Pawan Kalyan is a huge star in Tollywood, but for me, it's just my second film.
Initially, I was scared of living alone in a big city like Mumbai, which is nothing like Bangalore. I'm more comfortable now; it feels like a home away from home.
I think women - or human beings, for that matter - are vulnerable. It's your vulnerability that makes you beautiful and stronger in your own way. Because then you're more accepting to newer things.
Today, there is not one Hindi movie which doesn't have a kissing scene.
