Comedy is easy. You have to react to what others are saying and it is all about the timing, the dialogue delivery.

What is important is the character that I play. Making an impact is far more important than the length of the role.

I feel for a film to be accepted, women have to take to it. The women bring the rest of the family to the theatres.

When I have time, I would like to do films in my language but I would also like to star in Bengali and Marathi films too.

Ever since Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai made headlines, every other girl in India wants to be a beauty queen. I was no exception.

I have seen and heard a 21-gun salute as my father is in the Navy, but that doesn't mean I don't jump if a gun is fired in my face!

What I like the most about Indore is its people, they are so caring and loving. Also, the city is culturally and economically rich.

I would love to do a sports biopic. I love sports and I think it would be amazing to be a part of a true story and play an athlete.

Sometimes films don't turn out the way they were envisioned on paper. And when that happens, one must just forget the entire episode.

I don't think I'm that knowledgeable. I don't think I am that good looking even. I feel embarrassed when people say these things to me.

It's a huge compliment that people continue to cast me in different types of roles believing in me and the fact that I can carry it off.

Age is not a factor when it comes to choosing the kind of roles you want to portray or the kind of clothes you wear for a role on-screen.

Give your 100 per cent. Whether you are working or with family and friends. Even if you are sleeping, you should give it your 100 per cent.

There is a lot I need to thank God for, everyday. But I think I am blessed because I have a very loving, understanding and supporting family.

Life beyond movies is a lot to me. My family, my friends, fitness, my music, books - just a combination of things I am very passionate about.

I remember I would always study at the eleventh hour, but still manage to get good marks. I was very active in sports, and I was an extrovert.

When you put up a personal post on social media, you are putting yourself out there because you are sharing something from your personal life.

I feel every profession suffers from a little bit of dissatisfaction from time to time. Even I do feel that way as far as my career is concerned.

I feel one should do things which pleases them, and my progression into super model then to an actress and now to an entrepreneur is based on this.

For the longest time, I was very conscious of the camera while doing a scene. It wouldn't seem natural. But gradually, I've become more comfortable.

I believe in keeping things simple. I do not believe in overdoing anything. Whatever you are wearing should make you look comfortable and confident.

Before the release, I kept saying 'Julie' isn't for sleazy men only. Thank god the audience agreed with me. Otherwise, I'd have ended up looking silly.

I have to watch my moves very carefully because if there are people to support you, there are also those who would like nothing more than to see you fall.

I want to tell everyone out there that there is no reason for you to sit at home when you are pregnant. Make your child ready for life, make him/her feel special.

I was born in Cochin August 27, 1980. Since my father is in the Navy, he was often transferred to other cities. When I was nine years old, we moved on to New Delhi.

One must take things lightly, after all, we are entertainers and acting isn't rocket science. The trick is, not to take criticism to the heart or analyse things too much.

According to me, every actor is struggling in the industry. Someone is trying to live up to their father's name, or someone is trying hard to retain the number one position.

Well it's very flattering to be on Twitter and have so many followers - but yes, it can be very unforgiving too. It is an invasion of privacy, but the choice is entirely mine.

People think that just because you're an actress, you have to watch your weight and stay slim. While this is true to some extent, fitness is more about health than looking good.

Having anything to do with a hit film is great. Even if you're a third assistant to the director or second to the editor, if the film does well, every technician, every actor benefits from it.

I keep my skin clean and moisturised. While shooting, my skin has to put up with severe make up and lights for hours at a stretch. So I am obsessive about taking my make-up off as soon as I am done.

For me, it doesn't matter if I am wearing a dress designed by a renowned designer or a regular dress. How I am carrying myself in it is what matters to me the most. I must feel complete in that outfit.

When I get saturated by commercial films, I'll probably do another film like 'Siskiyaan.' But yes, as a viewer, I really enjoy commercial cinema; so obviously, as an actor, I would love to be a part of one.

I refuse some movies. I cannot always give reasons why I refuse. Sometimes, I refuse just because I feel like refusing! I always look at my role, and never bother about who the hero will be when choosing a movie.

We came up with 'No Filter Neha' which means having 'unfiltered chats' with guests as first choice to name the show and then we went on to throw 40 more names but later we thought that first one is the best name and went back to it.

I must confess that Bollywood definitely happened by chance to me, but once it did - I took it up seriously, and made a profession out of it. And it's the best feeling in the world to be enjoying your work and getting paid to do it! It doesn't get better than that.
