A part of me always wanted to be an actor.
— Vaani Kapoor
I stress, worry, get nervous and I start to over-think about a lot of things, but I think a little bit of doubt and nervousness always keeps me on my feet.
Growing up, I loved shopping from the streets of Delhi and love a mix and match of designer wear and high street in my wardrobe.
I do realise I need to expand my social circle so I can meet more people.
As an actress, I want to live many lives on-screen.
You cannot be loved always, you cannot expect every film of yours to do a certain way, but I feel proud of the work I have done and projects I have been part of.
Everyone gets opportunities that one should make the most of.
I have very few friends.
Ideally, I want my films to work because I want the people who have invested their money to get back their investment and make profits too.
Loyalty is very important to me.
Fashion is something that comes and goes. What remains is your style and that's nothing but an extension of your personality that you are showcasing via your clothes.
If you're feeling comfortable and confident in whatever you are sporting, you will pull it off. One can even wear garbage bags if they are confident enough.
Honestly, in life you should take situations day by day. You never know what comes your way. I just like to go along with my instincts and be a part of the kind of work I like.
You can be accepted in a film which is amazing, and the same person can be rejected in another film whose content does not resonate with people.
I don't want to end up being dependent on anyone.
Yes, I come from a protective family. I wasn't even allowed to sleep over at a friend's place as a child.
I don't stay in the constant worried and over-thinking zone.
There are such pretty faces and so many more talents and people with more potential, but they never get their chance because they are not at the right place at the right time.
I feel like every actor charts a different course in their respective career in the industry. Everyone has an individual journey. So, you can't compare one to another.
I had the honour and the privilege to launch the brand Dodo and Moa together with Amazon Fashion at the Amazon Fashion Studio. The brand is a brainchild of Zashed Fashiontech. It is a new age brand for women with a collection that is contemporary, fun and modern.
Unfortunately, I don't meet guys and it's really sad. I only meet actors on set.
I loved 'NH 10,' 'Piku' and 'Raazi.'
There will be hits and misses; you can't take it to heart. Of course, you feel bad when something doesn't do as well as you expected it to, but it's a part of being in films.
I knew I had the potential. I would say, have self belief and dedication and leave the rest to destiny!
My parents support and trust me a lot. They know I would never do anything that will be wrong for me and even if it is, they know I would be smart enough to own up and take a stand for myself, be responsible with what I'm doing.
I have lost weight; my face is bound to look different.
When you feel low and down, you don't know whom to talk to and go out with.
I know what I can pull off and what I can't. That's important for everyone because not everything will look good on you.
I just want to be a part of something exciting, that's all.
I never give in to pressure.
I can get awkward. I am not the best person to break the ice.
I want to be a part of the best movies that are being made, and to work with the best directors.
I don't think 'Befikre' is frivolous at all. Yes, the film is light-hearted. Shyra and Dharam are free-spirited but that doesn't mean they are obnoxious.
I'm happy that my parents were supportive. They never really pressurised me into going ahead with just about anything.
Modelling is something I couldn't see as my forte or something that I would do for the rest of my life.
I feel designer wear is great and is created after a lot of thought and effort but it's essential that we are confident and comfortable with our fashion choices at all times whether it's on social media or in real life.
In my free time, I do travel, watch films and learn on the go.
Since 'Shamshera' is set in a particular time, the dance sequences require me to have a very Indian, very classical body language, which is why I started taking kathak classes to learn the nuances and the grace.
I don't think about who is doing what, but give my 100 per cent to whatever is coming to me.
When I was signed by Elite Model Agency, my mom felt it was the right place as it was a professional agency.
Yes, if something good is offered in any language, I will do it.
No, I am very old school. Everybody has a different definition of old school today. But yes, I do feel that I would like to meet, know a person before taking it forward. I am not the casual hook-up types.
In Mumbai, I don't know many people. I only know colleagues.
I don't like the energy at award shows. It's rehearsed and everybody is just focused on themselves and nobody wants to genuinely applaud for anyone else. People aren't even listening if someone is giving a speech on stage.
I'd like to believe that I'm chic yet cool and casual.
If I am not deeply passionate about a certain project then I will let it be.
All of us are hungry to be a part of great stories. There are some fortunate ones who get it early in their career, and there are some, for whom it takes a little while to get to be even considered for a part which could be promising.
There are certain filmmakers who look at the kind of work you have been a part of or if you come with a baggage of bad films.
I don't believe in casual dating; I would rather be in a proper relationship.
I hope people like me in the film and love the film because I think 'Befikre' is a very sweet film.
