I'm very good at manipulation.

I am very expressive and hyperactive.

I have always been inclined towards sports.

I never thought I could pretend to be someone else.

I'm not a confused person in real life. I'm very clear.

I don't understand indie films. So, I won't do such films.

'X-Men' or 'Avengers!' I want to be a mutant or an Avenger.

I'm trying to break a lot of prejudices with my every film.

To me, a good film is one that can keep me engaged for two hours.

I make sure I don't repeat my genre, don't repeat a role for sure.

I play on my honesty. Audience like me because they find me honest.

Working in a hugely, commercially successful film benefits everyone.

Post 'Pink,' I figured out which direction I want my career to take.

I played a biker in one of my earliest films in Telugu, 'Mr Perfect.'

Whenever I've surprised my audience, I've gained something out of it.

We have to jump into the competition and prove ourselves every moment.

You can make me work for 14 hours at a stretch, but don't make me sit.

I've seen people being in awe of Anurag Kashyap, but I'm not a fangirl.

At the end of the day, it's show business: you earn money to make money.

Maintaining pay parity is very important, and I am in total favour of it.

My technique is different, and I am more spontaneous. I don't like rehearsing.

I want to play whoever is opposite 'Iron Man.' I want to romance Robert Downey Jr.

I genuinely don't feel like a star, with the kind of struggle I've had to go through.

I think being strong is something that resonates with my personality. It's on my face.

Nobody is going to keep giving me chances even after two-three of my films don't do well.

I don't regret a single decision of mine. Even if I made mistakes, they helped me evolve.

In school and college, there have been instances where I wish I knew how to defend myself.

I want people to believe that I can pull off more than one or two types of genres or characters.

Cinema is a form of art, and like every other art form, cinema also needs freedom of expression.

It helps me rejuvenate when I use my energy in different directions and then come back to acting.

You have to keep proving yourself - every film - until the audience believes you can do anything.

In Hyderabad, it was really warm. I had decided to move there even before my first film released.

When you are in safe hands of a brilliant filmmaker and an ace co-actor, there is nothing to fear.

I never thought I was gullible, but I know that I trust people easily and take people on face value.

As an individual, I have no fear of failure... I think that translates on-screen in my performances.

Since I am an actress and not a social activist, cinema is the best medium for me to state my views.

I have been following badminton for quite some time, and I know most of the Indian players personally.

I have this habit of not rehearsing a lot; I don't go on practicing my dialogues, pauses, and actions.

I always find a reason to be happy before I sleep. For me, happiness is a choice that is in your hands.

I watch a lot of badminton, and as a result, I know more or less about the forms of most of the players.

With 'Judwaa 2,' I captured the kind of market that I could have never penetrated into on another occasion.

I didn't even plan Bollywood! I did my first film just to experience something new, and not start a career!

At the end of it, box office result matters. And the weird thing is that we do not know the formula of that.

Honestly, till the time each and every movie-goer knows about me, I will not stop doing multiple films a year.

I never thought I could be an actor, as I was always a studious geek and was always interested in mathematics.

I didn't know how to act, but I was open to learning. I was not delusional that looks would help me sail through.

If my films fail, I will work on something else; my life will not end. And the film is not the end-all of my life.

Either I choose to behave or live a life of someone else, or I choose to be myself and live the life the way I want.

As an actress, I am happy that people are offering me good roles and I am earning success critically and commercially.

I keep saying this: that I'll get married when I am ready to have a kid. I won't have a kid without getting married for sure.
