- I don't know (about her future). I haven't thought so much about it. I am still a teenager and this isn't the right time for me to commit to anything. I still have loads of exploring to do and I still have to discover so much for myself.
- No matter how much you plan your life, destiny will shatter your plans. I am waiting for the destiny to show me the way.
- I do not have dreams. I will go with the flow and I believe in destiny. I know if things are meant to happen, they will happen. Your destiny will take you where you belong.
- I don't agree with the idea of people looking up to me or my journey. I want them to experience their own share of life, and walk their own path. They would be delusional if they would try to do what I did because everybody is different and the dice will not fall on the same side for everybody.
- I am a positive person. I believe there is light at the end of the tunnel. If there's no light, it's not the end.
- We are at this age as teenagers where at times, you'll be really lost, and it's okay to be lost sometimes. It's okay to not know the answers; they will come to you eventually.
- [on feeling the pressure of becoming a role model] No, I don't. And that's because I don't get along with the idea of having a role model. I have never had one and I never will. I cannot comprehend the idea of someone dedicating their whole life and aspirations to just one person they don't even know about. I am on a constant rant... I would rather build a path of my own than follow on someone else's footsteps.
- Every time we talk about teenagers, we tend to think of only the problems they face in a relationship. A teenager's life is beyond having boyfriends and girlfriends. At this early age, teens face problems that make them question their own existence. That's very sad.
- I am a very bad actor. I can't pretend and act. So, I would fetch one event or an experience which is remotely connected to the situation on screen. I would look for the closest emotion. If I couldn't find, then I would build an emotion.
- [on being asked to define success] I believe for me, fame, wealth, money, monetary things, they do not really equate success, popularity doesn't equate success. Obviously people can have their own perspective, but if they are only looking at these things, that fame may define success, then maybe you're wrong and you need to rethink your priorities. I do have my own goals, I am at competition with my own self instead of others, and instead of trying to elbow out everyone i want to hold hands with everyone and exist gracefully within my surrounding and be able to do great things for myself, for my family, for my loved ones, to be able to lift up the people who don't have a voice, to be able to lend my voice to the people who have a voice but they are unable to speak at the moment.
- [on what advice would she give to other people battling depression] It's unfair to advise people, it's the last thing they would want to hear from someone else, because every single person is going through a battle of their own, and the things that they have faced in their life, things that they have done and things that have been done to them, is defining the present, so we don't get a take on that, nobody gets an opinion on that. All we can do is try to help them but not dictate terms to them, that this is what you should do and this is what you shouldn't because it's completely unfair. They have gone through their own battles, so it's unfair for you to have a take on it. All you can have is empathy, but not sympathy.
