Actor Riddhi Kumar (@RiddhiKumar_) is promoting her new film, craving homemade food, and wishing she could just skip flights and teleport instead
Currently, I am

High point in life
Signing The Raja Saab and Superboys of Malegaon in the same month.
Low point in life
When my father, an army officer, had a brain stroke three months ago.Our family became closer than before. Seeing him recover makes me admire him anew.
On my playlist
Khwab Dekhe, from Race; Tu Hai Kahan, by Aur; The Winner Takes It All, by Carla Bruni.
Today I’m craving
Homemade bhindi ki sabji.
Last thing I ordered online
False eyelashes.
App I check before going to bed
Instagram.
Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self
Follow your gut, even when you think people know better. I learnt that too late.
My favourite subject in school
Philosophy. I was introduced to it in the 11th grade.
I’d swipe right on
Honesty and humility. It’s what I always strive for as well.
My secret skill
I speak English, Hindi, Marathi, Telugu, German, French, Tamil and Malayalam.
A magic tool I wish I had:
Something that would let me skip flights and teleport to anywhere in the world!
My favourite Sunday memory
As a child, I’d go with my family to our ancestral village, all of us in a cart with us tiny cousins on top. We’d spend time in our mango orchard and cook on the chulha together. The most wonderful time.
My plans for next Sunday
I’ll probably be snowed under by pre-release events.
My favourite bad habit
Eating junk food. I’m not even guilty about it.
If I could travel back or forward in time...
I’dwant to leap ahead and see how I’m doing in life, have a wonderful conversation with myself, lean back into my present and learn from my mistakes.
The best thing about fame
Convenient access to places and being able to connect with so many people.
The worst thing about fame
There is just no way to tune out every unsolicited comment.
