Shamshera' is a dream project and I feel blessed to have an opportunity to be a part of it and portray such a different and interesting character.
— Vaani Kapoor
For all those, who ever think of giving up and give in what others have to say, I would say hold onto your dream and watch it come alive, just like mine.
I feel it is good to be nervous because you are not fully sure or over-confident.
I do tend to sometimes keep myself updated with whatever is trending but I don't really follow fashion trends.
I have a long list of filmmakers I want to work with. But I have also always had this touch of reality, that if it doesn't happen, it's okay.
You cannot be laid back at any given time and think 'you have made it.' You need to have your head on your shoulders and have the right attitude. Your attitude is extremely important.
I believe in throwing a lot of positive energy in the universe and hope for the best.
Anything that is soothing and nice to my eyes, I pick that up, I don't follow a particular trend. I follow being effortless and not make a statement.
I want to work in all sorts of movies, I am very greedy.
My father used to run an NGO and we all used to live at this huge place in Gujranwala Town with lots of animals.
I feel everybody gets trolled. There is no one who hasn't got trolled on social media. I guess trolling has become norm of social media where people enjoy belittling everybody.
I'd like to do an action film, a full-on comedy film, family dramas and a soulful romantic film.
Education is the key to a bright future.
My internship with Oberoi hotels and later working with the ITC group in Jaipur helped me get a better exposure; I got to meet expatriates and get acquainted with people from different parts of the country.
I think I have started to take life as it comes and quite uninhibitedly, without being repressed by the expectations of the society.
I will leave no stone unturned as far as hard work is concerned.
Everybody dates these days. Like you get to know someone before you end up getting married, committing for a lifetime relationship. So dating is cool, date as much as you want, get to know the person.
I think 'Befikre' has got a polarised response. Some people absolutely loved it and some didn't feel connected with the film. I feel the film is a little bit ahead of its time.
I have always followed my heart, my dreams and thankfully God has been kind.
You do feel bad when things don't work. But you cannot succeed without failing. It goes hand-in-hand.
Every new project, every new team and everything teaches you with something which you haven't learnt or done before.
I want to work with happy, good people, who have a positive outlook. Not those who are grumpy, complaining and throw diva behaviour.
I auditioned several times before I got the part in 'Shuddh Desi Romance.'
I don't think I am one of the fashionable actresses in Bollywood but I know what suits me and my body type.
I don't have a very strong notion about anything when it comes to fashion. I am okay experimenting but I know that I don't experiment.
I always had a thought about acting but it never seemed practical to take it as an option because I do not have acting or theatre background.
I really miss how we used to celebrate Diwali when I was a kid.
I have grown up in Delhi and have loved shopping from Janpath or Sarojini Nagar and the local stores - for me it's about a mix and match in the wardrobe and also something that is an extension of your personality.
All that is in my hand is to give my best shot.
I know Anushka Sharma and Parineeti Chopra. So it would be fun to do a film with them.
I want to feel happy doing a good film and don't want to look at cinema with a materialistic yardstick.
I think kids don't like me much. Even my nephew used to cry when he was a kid and I used to go close to him. I don't know what they are sensing from me, I have only love to give.
I do not take anything for granted - I like to shoulder every responsibility.
I have always felt that I was the biggest risk factor and the biggest bet for 'Befikre' because everyone else in the team had achieved something and have already proven their worth in their respective fields.
I had to go through a grilling process to meet Mr. Aditya Chopra. It took a lot of time and auditioning.
Ni Main Yaar Manana Ni' is a cult classic and also one of my favourite songs from a Yash Chopra movie. The song is about never giving up on one's love and I connected instantly with it when I first heard it.
Failure is something which everybody has to face. It is part of life.
You have moments when you sulk, when you crib and cry and feel that, 'why me and why all these things are happening with me.' We are only human. It's about facing your fear and not giving up because you are the only person who will support yourself at the end of the day and if you dont do that than nobody else will.
I've learnt that you need to have a thick skin, lots of patience and be consistently good.
I am grateful to my mother for insisting that I complete my education.
My idea of fashion is very basic.
I am a bad planner, I cannot really plan my future, so I am keeping my expectations very grounded.
On Diwali, my parents, friends, cousins - everyone used to assemble at our home, where we used to have a Diwali mela.
Befikre' is not just about two characters. There is another very prominent third character, and that is Paris.
I am ambitious and passionate and that in itself is drive. My work gives me happiness.
Education lays a strong foundation. I was keen on films, but my mother insisted on me finding all about the line I was planning to take. I am into films but I know my Plan B is ready, just in case.
I had a sheltered childhood.
Though most youngsters in France are fitness-conscious, I would not shame anyone for how they look. That's unacceptable and I don't stand for it.
I really wanted to do 'Band Baaja Baraat.' No regrets though, I did its remake in Tamil and felt a little content.
I have cats, dogs, monkeys and ducks at home - it's like a mini zoo.
