RADHIKA PANDIT

I've been charging what I deserve. I believe I am worth every penny of it, and if filmmakers think so, too, they will pay me.

For 'Zoom,' as the script demanded it, I opted for a shorter hair-style, as I play the character of a modern girl who is self-made.

It's always nice to work with repeat actors.

I'm the romantic sort and would like to watch films that I can relate to.

I love to, and an alarm clock will ensure that I wake up and leave work on time.

I have to maintain my stardom.

Dubbing is an important part of acting, and I feel complete only when it's my voice that is heard. Having essayed the character, I know the kinds of emotions that are required for each scene.

I believe that your personal life does not have anything to do with your professional life.

I have never considered doing action films.

I drink a lot of milk.

I have always chosen to portray roles which inspired me and mostly that I enjoy it in the first place.

For me, summer holidays, vacations, New Year, and any trip away from Bengaluru meant going to Goa. My mother is from there.

Working with senior and star actors is always a positive and more satisfactory experience, but I have always stressed upon the quality of the script.

I don't have a dream role as such, but given a chance, I would want to play a historic role.

All the projects that I am part of get delayed for reasons beyond my control!

If my role requires a certain kind of dialect, which I think I am not confident enough to do, I'd prefer a dubbing artist then. There shouldn't be a selfish motive, and it's always better to have a certain understanding between the director/producer and the actress.

I never did films for the sake of money alone or for any favour or obligation.

Yash was a great friend, a fabulous boyfriend, and is an even better husband.

For me, the small joys of life make me happy.

I'm quite feminine.

I honestly do not see any difference sharing the screen with Yash post our engagement. We started our career together, and it has been a wonderful experience working with him as a co-actor.

Regardless of where the offer comes from, I'll choose characters that are inspiring and challenging.

I do not know how I developed the interest for baking. If I am not shooting, I head back home and start baking my favourite cakes and cookies.

There is pressure from day one when you start your career.

Every actor evolves over a period of time.
