I particularly like Shah Rukh Khan's style. He is very laid back and very comfortable with whatever he carries.

I don't think one film is enough to showcase your talent or to show your abilities as an actor.
I feel that modelling has groomed my personality and made me a confident person, but even today, when I go on the ramp, I get nervous. I am more comfortable being in front of the camera than walking on the ramp.
It's sad to be constantly judged for every move you make after your first success. If you wear your hair differently, you have changed.
My career is doing well both in Tollywood as well as Bollywood.
Every thing in life that's first should be a celebration or celebrated with a lot of oomph.
I go with the flow of the film. I feel if it's the demand of the script, then you should do it.
When I started doing advertisements, I really enjoyed the whole process of shooting, and I realised that I could do the little bit of acting required quite easily. My directors also told me that I have a flair for acting and that I should polish it and try for films. Then I thought I probably had it in me - why not give it a shot?
The journey from engineering to acting just happened. I guess some things are meant to be.
I believe in comfort and dressing according to my body type. I have a tall frame. So a lot of things suit me more than it would others.
I want to play a character with grey shades.
Whatever happens, happens for the better. I was meant to do 'Raabta.' Every film has its destiny, and it's the film that chooses you.
Akshay Kumar and Prabhu Deva are a team that you always want to be a part of.
I wouldn't have taken up modeling as a profession. It was more of a hobby.
I think I'm someone you would really break down easily, so I have to work on that.
I am an engineer by profession, but I knew I wanted to act. My parents always encouraged me, and when my father shifted to Mumbai for work for a brief while, I came along.
My career is too short for there to be any turns! But I would say that not everyone is noticed and accepted in their debut films. I was accepted both by the industry and the audience.
Sonam Kapoor has a great style.
The first film is very important, and one needs to choose the right kind of debut project. I also think the second film is equally important, as it needs to be a notch higher.
Luckily, for me, my first producer Sajid Nadiadwala treats both Tiger Shroff and me like his kids. He's very protective.
I am just a beginner. The two films so far are baby steps. If I develop an attitude, I'll be finished even before I've started. Besides, if I started misbehaving, my folks would give me a tight slap.
I find the working pattern to be the same in Bollywood as well as Tollywood. Especially because most directors of photography from the Telugu industry operate in Bollywood, too.
I think if you're talented and not desperate to do any film that comes your way, and are doing justice to all your roles, then you're fine, because you can't predict the rest. You also can't predict the audience's reaction.
I don't like to limit myself as an actress.
I think education is something that is very important no matter what you are doing. It makes you feel secure, independent, and helps you build confidence in yourself. It grooms your whole personality. So if it starts from the basic level; if the basic education that a girl and a boy receive is the same, I think a lot will change.
I have no particular inspiration, but I do find Anushka Sharma, Deepika Padukone and Kangana Ranaut amazing.
I would love to play a completely negative character if it's backed by a super script.
I would love to do a biopic on Madhubala. She was very pretty. I really admire her.
Actors don't have to be linked in real life for the chemistry to be translated on screen.
I'm not much involved in sports, and I don't play, either.
When I was young, I remember the first song I danced to was 'Akhiyan Milaon,' because I am a big fan of Madhuri Dixit.
You really have to think a lot before speaking, and the things that are written about you, sometimes you might not like it.
In the mornings, I use a good moisturiser and a colouring lip balm. In the evenings, though, I like to go a little glam.
I actually moved from engineering to acting. I think what's important is how talented and passionate you are.
Fashion has been something that I have been really into since a very long time. Every girl likes dressing up, and I am that kind of a girl who take a little time to dress up. I love to dress up at occasions.
Modelling was never a career option for me; it was always a hobby. I was modelling while I was pursuing my B.Tech, so the obvious choice after finishing my studies was to do a job. But while I was modelling and doing TV commercials, I really loved being in front of the camera. I enjoyed the shooting process.
If you request for a little time to fulfill a commitment, you're accused of being arrogant. I repeat, I've achieved nothing to be arrogant about.
Star kids always get an upper hand at the start of their career. People in the industry often know them from the time they were toddlers, so they show support to them when their film is about to release.
I usually mug up my Telugu dialogues much before going to the sets every day.
It's scary to imagine yourself failing. But I do know that in Bollywood, every Friday changes your destiny, and unfortunately, every Friday also changes the way people look at you.
I would really like it if someone knows me more for a character that I've played. If they call out the character's name instead of mine by mistake, it would be lovely.
Sometimes when I talk, I sound like a feminist because I get really angry when I hear certain things. For instance, a lot of families don't really educate their girls much while they educate their sons to the full extent. I think that's not fair.
My parents were never into films, but I hope to make them proud with my work some day. In any case, in Bollywood, your surname matters only till your first, second, or third film at most. Beyond that, you are on your own.
We are all somewhere or the other a little grey, not black and white. We have our imperfections.
'Dilwale' has increased my audience reach; I have gained in every way possible.
Some people do believe that any publicity is good publicly, but I don't. I would never want to be in news for rumours.
In Hyderabad, I suppose my height does pique people's interest, but it's not like it's unacceptable. If you are confident about what you are doing, height doesn't make a difference. You can't be perfect in everything, you know!
The moment I lose weight, it shows on my face, and given how sharp my cheek bones are, it doesn't look good.
The more successful you become, the more known you become, everything you say is minutely scrutinised a lot.
I think less is more. Sephora has these nude themes, which is like 'no make-up' make-up.
