Get to know... Ridhi Dogra

Currently I am

Travelling and working on something exciting.

High point in life

Every time I was scared to do something and went ahead and did it.

Low point in life

Losing loved ones. It’s heartbreaking, but one learns to make room for grief.

On my playlist

Hawaayein, from Jab Harry Met Sejal; Hanuman Chalisa, by Shekhar Ravjiani; Come Undone, by Robbie Williams

One thing I would never buy

Trending products by luxury brands, which are pretending to be essentials. I despise this kind of marketing.

Today I’m craving

A bagel.

Last thing I ordered online

Uncle Chipps.

App I check before bed

Instagram.

Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self

None. 18-year-old me was a rockstar. I continue to learn from her.

My favourite subject in school

English.

I’d swipe right on

Nothing. I’m not into virtual dating. I’m attracted to energy and eyes.

My secret skill is

Being calm in nasty situations.

A superpower I wish I had

To shine my light on the world.

My favourite Sunday memory

I’m from Delhi. On Sunday’s I’d swim and gorge on cheese balls with Nani at the club. Visiting Nani’s house meant pampering. She recharged my batteries.

My most star-struck moment

Meeting Shah Rukh Khan when I worked with him on Jawan. He’s an incredibly blessed soul. I was talking gibberish.

My favourite bad habit

Giving people the benefit of the doubt when it’s not needed.

If I could travel back or forward in time, I’d…

Go forward. Backwards is done. Forward could save me a lot of worrying.

The best thing about fame

It’s temporary. You can focus on the real things.

The worst thing about fame

It’s temporary. If you get too attached to it, you’re screwed. .
