What is keeping you busy these days?
I’m working on myself right now. I’m doing a lot of acting workshops, attending learning dance, and working on how to be fit.
Is there any special way a man can woo you instantly?
By genuinely listening to me, and by sincerely maintaining eye contact. I feel it’s really important.
The most sultry pickup line ever used on you?
Pickup lines are not sultry at all, I have quite terrible ones on my list though. There were particularly two pickup lines that I recently received on my Instagram DM. The first one was “Hey, my name is so-and-so, but you can call me tonight.” The second one I actually liked, a little lame, but it said, “Are you wi-fi because I’m feeling a connection.”
What is your biggest turn-off?
I don’t like people who are very superficial. Similar to show-offs who are only concentrated on their outward appearances. That’s definitely shallow and a big turn off for me.
“Men only want one thing.” Comments?
What is that thing? Because I think these days men have become even more demanding than women. There are almost hundreds of things that they want, and it can be difficult to keep a track.
One secret about women that men should know?
The current generation that we are in, I feel women like men, who are emotionally available and expressive about their feelings. Moreover, I would love to see a guy who is really organic about his sentiments than someone who is always acting macho.
One secret about men that you think all women should know?
By personal experience, I would say that men really like to talk. Women may feel that men don’t like to talk much and avoid long chats, but it is completely untrue. I’ve met the most talkative men in my life, and I think they really love to strike up conversations and discuss perhaps every little topic in this world. So, I think men would really like it when they are heard, just like us women.
What would your outfit for a romantic date be?
It majorly depends on what kind of a date is it and with whom. If it is at a fancy place, then I will select a super classy black dress with just the right accessories. If it is at a casual cafe, then I will just go in my jeans and a tank top.
What has been your hottest look so far?
I would have to say my recent look at an awards function. It was a one-shoulder Shantanu and Nikhil gown in red and I really got a lot of compliments for it.
Is there anybody whose wardrobe you would like to invade?
For clothes, it has to be my sister, Kriti. However, the invading will only happen the day when I’m actually able to fit in her size. Otherwise, I would like to steal all of Kareena Kapoor Khan’s sunglasses, I love them.
If you could have one cheat day and eat anything without any consequences, what all would you indulge in?
I’m a brunch person, so I would go to someplace such as Bastion in Mumbai and have loads of pancakes. Their french toast is also amazing so it would be on my plate as well. For lunch, I would eat a big chicken burger, and my dinner would be a nice cheesy pizza. However, I don’t think I will be able to eat all of this in one day.
How do you like to spend your money?
I haven’t really earned that much yet. But whatever that I’ve earned, I have spent it on myself, like on my workshops and dance classes. I would say that right now, I’m spending money on training myself to be better in the future.
Would you ever get a tattoo? If yes, where and what would it be?
I’ve not really thought of getting a tattoo right now, but I might later. It would be an intricate design, which says “feeling a vibe” on my calf or knee.
Who would you choose, a husband who is a great cook or a husband who is good in bed?
I will have people to cook for me, so I’ll choose a husband who’s good in bed, hands down.
Would you rather watch 50 Shades of Grey, or read it? Why?
I would like to read it. It’s all about imagination and since I like reading books. So, I would read it, than just see the film and not really imagine anything of my own.
What is your favourite romantic scene from a movie?
In Hollywood, there’s this one scene in 16 Candles where the actress is coming out of the church all sad and she sees the love of her life, which made me emotional. There are so many romantic scenes in Bollywood, but one of my favourite film is Hum Apke Hain Koun, and I like a lot of scenes, which I won’t be able to list.
What is the funniest thing you have done while drunk?
It was a few years back. On Diwali, I was at a friend’s place and we just started drinking some wine. I was a little drunk and went to the washroom, and the next thing I know, I have locked myself in the bathroom. I was all decked in an Anarkali suit, and I remember sitting on the floor and just sleeping. People had to break the bathroom door just to get me out. It was definitely funny for me when I heard it sober.
