It wasn't easy for me to start in Bollywood because I was an outsider.

I'd rather be appreciated for my character in a film than my looks.

If a woman goes out with different men on different days, women only will question her character and call her all sort of names.

I would never like to endorse a fairness cream. I believe in natural beauty.

You need a strong family because at the end, they will love you and support you unconditionally. Luckily, I have my dad, mom and sister.

I speak Hindi fluently because my mother speaks only in Hindi and Urdu.

I love watching horror films because I don't get scared easily.

I never even wanted to be an actress. I studied mass communication and wanted to study law in Newcastle, for which I even got a scholarship. But by then, I had started modelling. So, I took a year off to decide what to do. But once you are used to working, it's difficult to get back to studies.

I would love to take a road trip across Italy in an Aston Martin S Coupe.

I am a die-hard romantic at heart and love the idea of love. But, when it comes to love, I kinda believe in the old world charm of romance - where there's mystery and intrigue.

I like my man to be witty he needs a sense of humour and needs to be extremely well-mannered.

Delhi is definitely a foodie's paradise.

Deepika is the epitome of classiness and hotness she maintains that balance really well.

I enjoy cooking for people I am close to.
