Zitat des Tages von Yami Gautam:
As a child, I always wanted to be an actor. But as I grew older, the acting dream kind of faded away, and I took to studying a lot. A few years later, a relative of mine who really wanted me to try my hand at acting sent my photographs to a few production houses, and like they say, the rest is history.
I am happy with the response I am receiving for 'Kaabil.' Audiences' love is what we work for, after all.
You will always see big, chunky bags around me. I have always been fond of bags. Bags are extremely essential because I keep my books in them.
I take full pride in the fact that I'm from Chandigarh.
I have done work that has appealed my heart, and 'Total Siyappa' is something I really liked.
I have always believed in quality work.
I try and groom myself, be it through fitness or dance.
Every actor wants to do a love story, and courtesy T-Series, I got to do two back-to-back.
You have to be very strong and headstrong to make your place. You have to know how to say no. Patience is very important.
In all these years, I've understood one thing: that it's only your work that should do all the talking.
We all should face some failures in life and learn from them. We should accept it and move on.
I do not want to do a role which is similar to the previous one or the concept and the genre.
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.
There have been failures in the past, and I know there will be in future as well. But I have learnt from them.
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.
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.
My career is a journey for me, and any journey is incomplete without the struggle.
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.
The reason behind Hrithik being the best dancer is that he never takes his work for granted.
I am following a particular diet, and it requires me to not just eat right but also at the right time. So, I carry food from home.
I can't run my career based on someone else's ideology.
Shoes are important to me because I don't do much with my clothes.
It's a coincidence that most of the films I have done are to do with social causes.
On the sets, Ali Zafar was extremely entertaining... he would just start singing out of the blue. It was just great!
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.
Like every actress, I, too, had movies that got stuck, but I have learnt to always look at the best in every situation and to give my best to every situation.
I'm there on all the social networking sites, as it plays an important role.
I use egg whites and an olive oil-based hair mask that deep-conditions the hair and adds incredible shine.
As an actor, I don't want to do something which I have already done before.
Hindi films are so deceptive. I thought Mumbai was this big, grand, beautiful city with sea-facing flats.
'Vicky Donor' proved that the audience was waiting for well-scripted funny films.
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 have never anticipated success. I choose work, give it my best shot, and leave it.
I would love to go to Ladakh - there are beautiful monasteries there and because I am from Himachal. I would love to go to Paris. I haven't been to New York, which I have heard a lot about. And, I would love to go to Kanyakumari. I think that would be interesting!
'Sanam Re' is an amalgamation of an emotional love story and a visual treat.
I'd love to be able to dance like Madhuri Dixit.
