ESHA GUPTA

You need a strong family because at the end, they will love you and support you unconditionally. Luckily, I have my dad, mom and sister.

Initially, my father opposed the idea of joining films and did not want me to move out, but now I'm closest to him and have his full support.

My day starts at 5 A.M. and gets over at 10:30 P.M. Its a long day but I love it... I can't sit idle.

I come from an army background, and everyone at my home has a habit of getting up early. I continue this habit even today.

I just hate going to the gym, unless I need to do cardio once in a while. I think gymming makes you stiff and takes your aura away.

Being a vegetarian really saves lives.

I don't really flaunt any gadget, but I am loving my Nokia Lumia.

I clean my own utensils, my house and I even travel alone. I don't know what the life of a superstar is like.

Martial arts should be part of every girl's education.

Whenever I get three-four days in hand, I fly down to Delhi to spend time with my family and my dog.

I speak Hindi fluently because my mother speaks only in Hindi and Urdu.

I like my man to be witty; he needs a sense of humour and needs to be extremely well-mannered.

I have been battling vertigo for a long time. It's something that I deal with on a daily basis.

Women will always be beautiful no matter what, and that's their specialty!

While I was growing up, all the boys used to be my buddies. I never got that special kind of attention from them, and I was the tomboy around. Although I've become an actress today, I still have those traits.

I don't think women in India are vulnerable.

If a woman goes out with different men on different days, women only will question her character and call her all sort of names.

When you walk on the road and people scream out your name, the high is unparalleled.

Women look really sexy doing action on-screen, and it is my favorite genre.

Delhi is definitely a foodie's paradise.

I am a die-hard romantic at heart and love the idea of love. But, when it comes to love, I kinda believe in the old world charm of romance - where there's mystery and intrigue.

I'm very low-maintenance, and that is a problem. I'm not demanding at all, and sometimes I feel that I should be throwing tantrums. But since I don't party or socialise, and am very low-key, I think that makes me very low-maintenance. Actually, I'm the most boring person at a party.

I believe in myself, and that's why I take criticism. You need to be very strong to survive in Bollywood. If someone calls me a bad actress, I won't live with it but will work towards improving myself.

I don't think anyone has made me except myself. I think I have done it on my own.

I have never had a dietician and I never will, unless I get a disease.
