I am nomadic by nature.

I love Mumbai for many reasons.

I don't believe in method acting.

I am happy wherever I get success.

I watch and appreciate all genres.

My idea of romance is pretty old school.

It's always lovely to know new languages.

My philosophy is to be strong and work hard.

For actors, social media is a driving force.

I did address my anxiety issues through therapy.

I love this... being busy and working every day.

When my first film flopped, I got damn depressed.

Playing music and singing are my forms of meditation.

I party only with my close friends in Chennai and L.A.

I love the Mumbai monsoons, but it really does get messy.

I trained in Hindustani, and then I went to music school.

If I can tolerate my own singing, then people can do so, too.

When I was a musician, I had no intention of taking up acting.

It is a conscious decision that I do films in different languages.

I was satisfied with my role in 'Luck,' and I am proud of the film.

I understand the repercussions of following in my father's footsteps.

You can transform into any character of any age. It's all in the mind.

People are genuinely interested in other human beings and their stories.

I'm proud of my lineage but never really depended on it anyway whatsoever.

I am very bad at schmoozing, and I'm not overtly charming in social situations.

I started officially learning music when I was 14. I learnt Hindustani classical.

Breaking expectations, even as an audience member, is something that I have enjoyed.

I want to act in films and use all my financial resources to fund independent music.

No amount of learning goes to waste. It adds to building your skill set and intellect.

What I am signing and what I'm not, I do not discuss with either of my parents. I decide.

Blues, rock, and soul are part of the music I make, but there are Indian influences, too.

I live in Mumbai with my mom and sister. And, of course, I always consider Chennai as home.

At the end of the day, nobody will do any favour to my dad by watching his daughter's film.

I've learnt so much since I joined cinema. I just want to take it as a positive experience.

This may sound strange, but I did not join the film industry to be a star and be successful.

With so many genres, music is so diverse, which is why it is an exciting thing to do in life.

Any film that can entertain and has a message and cannot be slotted into any genre is unique.

I remember the location of 'Apoorva Sahodarangal.' As a kid, it was an exciting location to be in.

I was getting a lot of offers in Telugu when I was shooting for 'Oh My Friend' and 'Seventh Sense.'

In Mahesh Manjrekar's films, women find their way into a realistic story in the most convincing way.

I really believe in trying to fulfil what my director wants, what I can do to make that scene better.

If you have a five-second role in a film, and those five seconds make sense, then that is what matters.

I wish there was an autotune for acting. That would make everyone win the best acting award immediately.

As an actress, I should be playing my parts with conviction; otherwise, the audience won't be convinced.

With music, I'm transported to a place that radiates positive frequencies and immediately eases my worries.

My South Indian audience matters to me a lot, so I like when they watch my Bollywood films. It feels great.

I've never considered myself a feminist, but I'm happy that I've been raised as a strong, independent woman.

I started out dabbling in rock and roll; then I did playback, and I have also sung for my own songs on screen.

I take offence if I'm called arrogant, because I've been brought up in a family that does not endorse arrogance.

I'm not going to lie; having acting greats like Kamal Haasan and Sarika as parents has, in a sense, opened doors.
