Kriti Kharbanda

I make sure that, every morning, my skin is really well moisturised. I use my sunscreen; I make sure I wash my face at least once during the day. I try not to overdo it, just so if there's any dust on my face, it doesn't settle into my pores.

I feel like, for an actor, eyes are the most important thing. So I'm a little obsessed with eye creams.

I think my favourite beauty mantra would be getting a good night of sleep - it works wonders for your skin. And once you wake up, post your shower, ice your face. It really, really helps your skin.

I make sure I use, like, a hair mask, and I try not to spend too many days at a stretch with product in my hair, which is difficult 'cause then I have to wash it every alternate day - being an actor is not that easy, because everything you use has chemicals.

Farhan Akhtar is very talented, and I'd love to work with him because I feel like he is one person I can learn a lot from.

My parents have been very supportive. To survive in this industry, you need a great support system, and I am really blessed to have one.

I have always been dramatic, so I think being an actress comes naturally to me. I think I am pretty good at it.

I miss Mumbai when I'm not here. The city does that to you, and it's exciting.

It's unbelievable that I'm working in the same industry as Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and working with Mr. Dharmendra.

There's no better feeling than being independent and doing for yourself.

I could have been insecure in 'Yamla Pagla'... if I wanted to be. With three actors who are amazing beyond belief and are a brand themselves, they don't even need me. They made sure that I was part of it. It's about the people whom you meet. They make you secure or insecure. It's their attitude. I have been very fortunate.

Ideally, as an actor, we all crave attention, appreciation, and to be recognised. What's the point of doing it yourself? It needs to come from someone else, and when that happens, I enjoy that moment.

The longer you experience a scene, you tend to accept what's going on.

I have been a big fan of Dulquer. I have watched a lot of his films... 'O Kadhal Kanmani' being my favourite.

I don't know how any film can bother you. It doesn't have to do with multi-starrer films. If you are insecure, you can feel insecure being the only girl also.

Even if I do get stereotyped, I would like to think that it is more of a challenge because if you are given one character and asked to play in 10 different ways, it says more about me as an actor.

Pawan Wadeya's 'Googly' gave me a new lease of life in Kannada cinema. I feel blessed that way. There's been no looking back since.

Doing comedy was liberating in a way.

Comedy is not an easy genre.

When I started playing tennis in Class V, I used to be the only girl on the court along with 20-odd boys. So, I am used to being in the company of boys. In fact, I have very few girlfriends, and even my besties are boys; I find it much easier to get along with them.
