I love films. I have a collection of DVDs on my shelf.
— Nikita Dutta
There is a myth that is being perpetuated that I am afraid of snakes. And I am not afraid of snakes!
In school, I was the weird kid, I guess.
I am incredibly cynical, and I don't think that's something people would guess. People think I'm all positive, but I'm a skeptic.
I have grown up in a family where every one is a part of the defence forces, so freedom and everything related to independence runs deep down my veins.
As a person, I don't feel insecure about most things in life. From relationships, friendships to work, I am quite at peace in my head.
I can never hold a grudge against anyone, even if I know that he has done something wrong to me.
I am a very bad cook. I can never make proper Indian food.
I am a bit of a psycho when it comes to food.
I can chop and peel vegetables but can't cook full meals.
Not only in our family, where our relatives keep putting us down, but even in this modern urbanized culture, we girls put our fellow girls down by judging them.
It's not always about playing the lead. It's also about being associated with an important and good film.
The best thing about yoga is that it is not just about weight loss but being fit from within. It's about better concentration, a calmer mind, and knowing your body.
I was on bed rest because of a fracture for about three months. 'Kabir Singh' happened immediately after that. So it was a good way to get back to work after a break.
There are two sides always - when something works, it is hailed, but when something doesn't, it is all criticism.
It is funny because, honestly, there isn't much I got to do in 'Kabir Singh' in terms of acting, but many are appreciating what I have done.
I hate to say it, but I am not used to travelling light. I always prefer being ready for any situation! So, a lot of things go with me wherever I go.
I've collected a lot of things throughout my life, and I think that's more being a hoarder than being passionate about them, and so I've tried to stop that.
There are certain situations, when you're in America, when people understand you better without an Australian accent.
I was in a play called 'Hood.' I was an extra in 'Passion of the Christ.' I did corporate videos, commercials, little university short films. Just anything that I could be a part of, really.
It's important to have privacy and have a personal life.
My focus stays on doing good films with notable characters.
Honestly, I love my life too much to share it with the world.
I think ratings are something that shouldn't bother you. At the end of it, you should be happy with what you are doing.
I am very punctual about time, eating, and work.
I am a control freak. I want everything to be prim and proper.
I am a fitness freak, and I do not celebrate any festivity in a grand way during the months of December and January because I am busy preparing for my marathon.
Though the concept of the show revolves around a love layer, 'Ek Duje Ke Vaaste' has a very unique storyline. It is not a typical love story, and I am glad to be a part of this show.
For me, it's difficult to even walk around in cotton sarees; imagine doing scenes in them!
Fitness is not about being better than someone else, but it is about being better than what you used to be!
Every piece of work has been a learning experience.
I think I would love to play a sportsperson myself. That is something I really want to do, since it fascinates me.
My slightly scary moment while travelling was when I decided to run across the Golden Gate Bridge in California. The weather was unbearably cold, and by the time I got to the bridge, it was already 8 P.M. I had about an hour to run across and come back, as the gate would shut by 9.
My travel plans are always sudden. But that always works out better because it ends up being more spontaneous.
There's so many people involved in making a film.
I love 'Eurovision!' It's the best thing in the world, and it should be mandatory viewing.
My brain has so many qualities that do not work with social media. I'm an overthinker, I'm overly private, and those two personality traits just do not work when it comes to Instagram.
It's in my blood to welcome all possible challenges. So something that makes me step out of my comfort zone is what I love doing.
I have stopped looking at roles as lead or parallel lead. Also, I feel these are very misleading terms.
'Bigg Boss' is not my zone of entertainment.
I love the way Shah Rukh Khan host awards. He's the one person that I look up to.
I always prioritize quality over quantity of work.
You can prepare a list of the qualities you would want in your ideal partner and fall in love with someone totally opposite.
It is not easy to participate in the 21 km. marathon. It takes a lot of energy, determination, and will power. It takes months to train to reach that mark with a proper diet chart.
I don't want to be picky and say that I only want to do films.
Selfie is referred to the new age 'autograph' for our fans nowadays! Also, I like clicking selfies.
It feels great pleasure and honour to be associated with a film like 'Gold.' I have always believed in meaningful cinema, and this movie was one such opportunity.
'Kabir Singh' is the Hindi remake of 'Arjun Reddy.'
There is no assurity that something will be a success because it is a remake or because it does/does not have a superstar.
Something I have learnt from my past trips is, however tired you are, make sure you make the most of the moment and the place you are in. The regret of missing out on things kicks in later on.
