I make my own face exfoliant at home, using finely ground rice powder mixed with milk or yogurt. I also treat my skin to a honey, rose water, glycerine and lemon face pack. The honey moisturises, and the lemon removes impurities.

We all should face some failures in life and learn from them. We should accept it and move on.
I have never anticipated success. I choose work, give it my best shot, and leave it.
I'm the only one responsible for the choices I make and the opportunities I get. When you read the script, you don't know how it's going to shape up. You just know what you've been narrated.
Most of the time, we keep looking outside and feeling sad about what others have. Those are mere excuses.
I am happy with the response I am receiving for 'Kaabil.' Audiences' love is what we work for, after all.
To do a romantic scene is the most unromantic thing to do on screen.
I have always believed in quality work.
It's a pure dream team to work with Hrithik, Sanjay sir and Rakesh sir.
There may be 10 odd things which I want to do as an actor, and we get an opportunity also, but I need to be sure whether the person I am trusting or the role that I am relying on - is it the correct one?
The challenge starts when you first come to Mumbai. But it's momentary if you win an award.
Delhi is full of energy. It is special to me because I have shot my first film here, and it is closer to my home town Chandigarh. I love the food, the vibe, and the people here.
No matter how long my day has been, I never forget to remove my make-up and slap on some intensive moisturiser before I go to bed.
I do hot yoga and TRX, a kind of suspension training.
We travel a lot and don't get enough time to spend with our family, and so we have to take our pictures, videos, also bother about things like which are the HD quality phones. So I'm very much a part of these typical things.
Consciously picking the right script after a long period of wait helped me grab a perfect film in the rom-com genre.
'Vicky Donor' proved that the audience was waiting for well-scripted funny films.
We all love to be admired and given compliments, but I don't really keep track.
There has to be that zeal to do something new and surprise yourself and audiences. You have to stay true to your craft, and that should never be sidelined.
When I get to work with someone like Prabhu Dheva at the beginning on my career, why would I say no?
South India has beautiful villages.
Junooniyat for love but not necessarily from the romantic perspective. For me, that is for family, that is for my work. For me, both these things are very important, so there is junoon for people I love, which is my family, and my work, which I worship.
My career is a journey for me, and any journey is incomplete without the struggle.
Whatever I have done so far has led me to 'Kaabil.' It is a big opportunity for me to establish myself more commercially. It is a huge platform.
If a film is a huge hit, you do think properly before choosing your next projects.
I love the way Tyra Banks dresses up - she looks so elegant and glamorous in whatever she wears. The confidence and attitude she exudes on and off the ramp is remarkable.
I was born in Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh, as my parents are both pandits from there. But I was brought up in Chandigarh.
You need a director, a script, and a role to justify a risk.
I do not want to do a role which is similar to the previous one or the concept and the genre.
On the sets, Ali Zafar was extremely entertaining... he would just start singing out of the blue. It was just great!
I'm there on all the social networking sites, as it plays an important role.
It's difficult when your family are not physically around you.
I believe in nourishment and having a balanced diet. I avoid bingeing and try and eat healthy, especially lots of amla, and drink lots and lots of water.
I think you need to love giving compliments as much as you love receiving them.
I don't look forward to anything. I take things as they come.
I am not from a film family or a Mumbai girl. The probability of getting a second chance is low, and so one has to be more careful.
It's an amazing experience to work with Hrithik. He is one of the finest actors, and there is a reason for it. He is extremely hardworking and fully dedicated.
The reason behind Hrithik being the best dancer is that he never takes his work for granted.
Even though 'Vicky Donor' was a huge success, I have had one or two films which have not done well, but that's all right.
Fashion is anything which is you and reflects your personality, and if you are comfortable with what you wearing, you'll look trendy and fashionable for sure.
I intend not to do an item song ever. I find the term 'item songs' bizarre. I do not want to comment on its presence and its popularity, but I would rather avoid it.
There is failure in every industry; there is failure in every step. It's just that we are working in an industry where everything is just out there; that is why it looks so magnified. But failure is a part of life.
I try and groom myself, be it through fitness or dance.
I feel nothing can push you till the time you want to get pushed.
You can't tag me as a regional actress.
It's a great opportunity when one gets something new to grasp, and I feel we should just grab it.
It's not just about achieving success; the journey is equally important for me.
I'm a believer in home-made recipes and concoctions, so I stick to natural or herbal products as much as I can. I also meditate regularly to de-stress.
I would rather wait and keep working on myself harder and wait for the right opportunity. It is not quantity but quality I should be remembered for.
Yes, I do come with certain reservations, and I'm not OK with certain things, but rather than focusing on what I don't want to do, I focus on what I do want to do, and I bring that energy, and that happens.
