Finally, FHM met a girl who is not paranoid about living life as it comes…
Who’s she? DOB: July 5. Lives in: Mumbai. Occupation: Model and actor.
On your FB profile, you’ve mentioned ‘seeker’ under religious views… We didn’t really understand what you meant?
Spiritual seems to be a clichéd word right now. I prefer being someone who is still on the quest... knowing whatever I seek is out there. Remember Harry Potter being the seeker in his Quidditch team? Just get hold of that quivering flitting gleam of gold and you win.
What’s the best thing about your life at this moment?
The fact that there is so much more of it to come.
What are the things in life you are extremely insecure about?
That the time lost can never be regained.
What are your selling points? Don’t say confidence.
Versatility and the ability to understand as a professional what is required of me at that point.
Do you believe in destiny?
Yes, but I also believe in free will.
When was the last time you felt lucky?
Oops…don’t know really, but a lot of times you look back and feel lots of moments you didn’t realise then were actually great moments of luck.
What’s the best way to find love?
To not look for it, but to know that you need it.
Ever been with someone who you thought doesn’t deserve you?
Nooooo! Why would I hang out with a loser?
If a genie grants you three wishes, what would you ask for?
Just one please. I want EVERYTHING!
What makes you furious?
Lies!
What cools you down?
Acceptance of ones weakness.
Are you easy to fall in love with?
Yes.
What are the things that a guy must have to date you?
Time and my interest.
Do you believe in planning? Or you take life as it comes? Why?
I plan my days, not life. Usually, whenever I made plans, life had different ones, and that’s what I ended up following. So now, I just let my life plan things for me, while I do the execution.
Is hate a strong feeling?
I don’t really think anyone is that important to deserve my hate.
Ever thought of killing someone?
Not really. Except the ticks on my dogs. And yeah, I murder them with vengeance.
When was the last time you were in love?
I am always in love with love.
Are you happy with your life or you want something more from it?
I always want more from life. Contentment is stagnancy.
Modelling or films?
Films, of course. It’s at the top of the food chain in the business of entertainment. Also, it’s more fulfilling in emotional terms.
From the June 2013 issue of FHM India.
