RASHAMI DESAI

I understand the difference between perception and reality.

I want to be associated with a show related to cricket as I'm proud of India playing the sport at an international level.

The fast pace of life doesn't give you much scope for wasting your time or wallowing in the past or regrets.

If I go out with my girlfriends, no one has an issue, but if I put up a post with a male friend or I'm seen chatting with a co-star, there is unnecessary speculation. What wrong am I doing that I'm being treated this way?

I want to feel pampered and special on my birthday.

My mother means the world to me. She is my inspiration and motivating force. She has brought me up perfectly and given me the value and ethics that I still proudly believe in and follow.

Travelling helps me rejuvenate and de-stress.

My body needs to be aligned when I am sleeping so for that I sometimes sleep on the floor.

I feel a bit scared at times as I feel if I am not convinced about the scene, the audiences won't be either, so I have to give my best.

As a person I don't judge others because I have no idea what circumstances they are in.

As an actor, you need to smile all the time, which is not easy.

The most enchanting experience I had in Ahmedabad when I visited the Gandhi Ashram. I was moved by the information on Indian freedom struggle and there is a sense of tranquility and peace at this Ashram that moved me.

My fitness regimen primarily consists of power yoga, cardio and light weight training.

I avoid using plastic bags.

In reality, I laugh a lot. In fact, if someone cries in front of me, I cant help myself and I often start laughing.

After my wedding to Nandish Sandhu, I wanted a break and that is why I quit 'Uttaran.'

I know how to cook, so working in the kitchen will never be an issue.

People are very accommodating and adjusting in Ahmedabad and that's what touches me a lot. It's the warmth of Amdavadis that moves me.

I try to be eco-friendly in every possible way.

A mother plays a very important role in every child's life.

When someone does something special for me, I always cherish it.

I am scared of stepping out of the house, because of what people will think of me. In our society, men and women are looked at differently anyway, and that's even truer if you are an actress.

I know of a few actors who have Psoriasis but stay mum about it. I don't respond to those who do. I just smile and move on.

I have seen lot of ups and downs in life; I have realised that nothing is permanent in life.

I am not very brand conscious.
