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. .
