Shopping in Mumbai is always an outing with friends.

I love buying hair clips.
I briefly studied martial arts in college and realised that I might not be a great fighter physically, but it gave me mental strength and boosted my confidence.
As women, we need to know that we can overpower anyone with our mental strength.
Nobody wants to play the antihero.
You need to be comfortable with yourself first and then decide what you want to achieve.
I belong to the Bohri community.
The reason why a filmmaker will invest in a male actor is because he will be able to sustain footfalls in the theatre till he turns 50.
Luv Ranjan does not believe in bikini bodies. Therefore, he always insists that we look like relatable characters onscreen.
I don't know how this industry works. There is no formula.
The box office performance of a film is instrumental in an actor being perceived as saleable.
Actors play a small part in all the things that go into the making of a movie. I want to know about pre-production, post-production, shot divisions - everything.
An actor is most vulnerable at the lowest point of his career.
I don't know how to swim.
Frankly speaking, during the making of 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety,' we never realised that the movie is going to be such a hit and that it will change our lives so much. There have been movies which have done really well at the box office, but rarely do we have movies where actors get so much love and adulation from their fans.
If the packaging is good - the actors, director and producer - then it will work, even if the product is not good.
I do have my cheat days, but I prefer to follow this vegan diet because it keeps my body and mind both happy.
My style would be whatever I look my best in.
I want to ensure that I strike a balance between all kinds of films.
Since childhood, I was always told that I am petite and can get hurt easily. And I always felt the need to become physically strong, just to prove people wrong.
It is not the team that creates the comfort zone. I thinks it's the kind of films. You keep doing same kind of films that makes you comfortable. But none of my roles have been the same. They have been different, even though the films' premise were the same.
For me, especially, the choice of roles in all my films, even it's the same team, has been a risk.
I take my time to understand the nuances of a character and prepare for a role, which is why I take time to do films. I work hard on myself to fit the character.
Acting is an emotion which has to be felt. Some feel it, some don't!
Hindi films tend to over-romanticise situations.
I have made every other person who has helped me my godfather.
I love Delhi's winter.
The perception about me has changed to a certain extent after the success of 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety.'
I love being a part of the whole journey of a film being made.
Doing a comedy is a bit different for girls.
I want to actually date someone who is not from this industry.
This whole concept of basket chaat is so unique, and it is really yummy!
Everyone loved 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama,' and it appealed to a mass.
My wardrobe is minimalistic.
I wanted to do films because I loved certain stories.
One should be alert and know how to defend oneself in case something untoward happens.
I don't think, as an actor, you should define what genre you want to do. Once you do that, you lose the sight to see the film and what its story is all about.
Even if you want to lose weight, do it the right way.
For me, Eid means having lots of yummy food.
I've realized my best and worst critic is my director.
People don't remember my work in my earlier films, as 'PKP' has been etched forever in their minds. So, I get similar kind of roles.
I believe that if I do good work, something in the universe will fall right for it.
I need to be careful about the films I choose to do.
I have not only played light-hearted roles, but many times, I end up playing this annoying girl in films.
When you go through a tragedy with someone, the bond is stronger.
Nobody expects girls to do something smart or give one liners in a film.
The audience's reaction is the most rewarding thing for an actor, especially me.
I knew people would see 'PKP.' Although the packaging was weak, the product was good.
It's a fight for every actor to surpass what they have done in their previous film, especially when it is accepted hugely.
