Famous Quotes by the actor
- “It is a common belief that models can’t act. I cannot take responsibility for other models or their acting abilities. I can only speak for myself through my work. The audience is free to judge whether I can act or not. I am only going to work hard and do my best to entertain the audience with my performance.”
- “Modelling is more about carrying a certain attitude and walking on the ramp showcasing the clothes you wear. After doing that for many years, you get used to keeping your face expressionless. Then, when you suddenly take the plunge into acting, it becomes difficult to start emoting. But we all learn and over the years, maybe, everyone improves. Being on stage made me realize the importance of truly being in the moment and letting the magic happen. I’m truly grateful for these experiences and hope to be able to do more theatre in the future.”
- “I achieved everything that a male model can achieve in our country. There was nothing more left for me to do apart from the same job. That’s what lead me to move on to bigger better things, but haven’t left modelling.”
- “I have always known that modelling is a female-centric industry, but I still managed to be in the top strata of the male models in our country for as long as I worked. I did everything a male model could do in India,”
