Comfort is key for me.

I'm a curry and rice girl.

Comedy is one of my strengths.

I'm not a fighter, I'm a lover.

I'm fun, vibrant, and full of energy.

I don't drink coffee: it makes me cuckoo!

Being just an actor would be quite frustrating.

I want to be a bi-continental working actor and writer.

Hate American toilets with only toilet paper and no bidets.

I have worked for everything. I am self-made and proud of it.

I want to host and write a 'Sex in the City'-type travel show.

I don't dream small. But then, what are we without our dreams?

Hosting is pretty natural to me, since I was doing it as a kid.

We live in a very classist society, and it's sad and depressing.

TV and appointment viewing is a thing of the past for the youth.

Nepotism exists - not just in Bollywood but in every profession in India.

Everything in my life happened by coincidence. Even my role in 'Delhi Belly.'

I never wanted to be famous; that was not my dream. I just like being creative.

I am one of those people who go with the flow, and thus, I have no goal in life.

I know I'm in a 'jack of all, master of none' situation, but I like it that way.

Most trolls are seeking attention by trying to get a response. So best is to ignore.

I have nothing against the film industry, but my mom asked me to do anything but act.

Everyone thinks living abroad is fun... The ideal life. Take it from me - it's tough.

I think you should do what you like, and luckily, I am able to make money out of them.

India is gorgeous. There is no country in the world as stunning and versatile as India.

I watch everything online... I consume so much media through Instagram and Facebook, too.

I am not a multi-tasker. When I do one thing, I fully concentrate on it and leave the other thing aside.

My life has become a series of planes, trains, and automobiles with some occasional downtime at a hotel.

Whatever money I made, I did not buy an apartment or a car: I bought plane tickets and hotels and experiences.

For acting, once I am doing a movie, I am fully into that. But I am not one to chase films. When it comes, it comes.

In college, they taught us to think of a bad smell or simulate a bad taste to start crying. I just think of my ex-boyfriend!

Actually, acting and hosting shows just happened on the way, and I will do it 'til it lasts and then concentrate on writing.

I worried about whether acting in Bollywood was my cup of tea - whether I could live up to it. But I enjoyed the filmi jhatkas.

I'm excited to play any character that is based in reality. And I'd be even more excited if I can add a comic element to my role.

The different foods and cultures and geography and art - I could spend my lifetime traveling around India and still not fully know it.

A troll is only as powerful as your response to them. Once you respond to them or let them instigate you, then you've given them power.

Travelling by myself is always more of an adventure: I meet more people. I experience the place to the fullest. I'm on my own schedule.

I am travelling to different places and talking to people about travelling litter-free, observing the wildlife, and respecting the host.

The pictures I take are not regular selfies. I give people a sneak peek into culture and lifestyles and experiences from around the world.

When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a screenplay writer or a photographer. First question people asked me: 'Who do you know? Any contacts?'

After my first ad, I was flooded with offers, which I took up. Soon, I decided that it could be a lucrative business with a parallel college life.

I hate when they portray women as just sex symbols in short skirts, running around playing dumb. I refuse to watch such films or be in such films.

There are Harvey Weinsteins in all walks of life, and especially in the entertainment industry where the power balance is tilted in favour of men.

Whether it's Hollywood or Bollywood, sexual harassment is a reality. I've experienced it first-hand, and I know many of my counterparts have as well.

My sister and I were driving at night and were followed by guys on a bike. It was a terrifying experience. The ordeal made us start a chauffeur service.

I wrote what it was like growing up as a female in India, and I got two and a half million shares, and people came up to me and thanked me for speaking up.

I started doing American films and TV before Priyanka, but of course I do small roles in big films, and I don't have the publicity machine working around me.

I have travelled across several countries and continents, but India holds a special place in my heart since every single state has something unique to offer.

From avoiding littering to encouraging local economy, there is a lot each one of us can do that will go a long way in keeping the country's cultural legacy intact.

It is really sad, as Delhi is our capital and one of the most beautiful places in India, but if a city can't make its women feel safe, then everything else is worthless.
