The two go together. To be a good actor, you need to be able to emote with your body. I can’t choose between the two.

“Oh, you’re so fair”! It’s weird because where I come from, it means ‘get yourself to a tanning salon because you look sick’!

The fun! And the Saturdays with Salman Khan.

Perfume, lipstick, lots of tissue paper, an extra Starbucks straw and a power bank.

All my clothes, I can actually pack it all.
