A Quote by Sonali Bendre

My memories of the whirlwind '90s are a blur of work schedules. I was completing my B. Com. degree in 1991 when I took to modelling and acting in TV serials. A year later, I found my foothold in movies.

For newcomers, modelling is like a stepping stone to acting. The exposure and experience in modelling helps... But for acting, we have to show a lot of hard work and dedication towards it.

Rakul Preet Singh

I think a lot of people's memories of the '90s are nostalgic. The economy was pretty strong, there was good TV and movies, yet our politics were changing quickly and dramatically.

Steve Kornacki

I studied acting throughout high school, then modelling took over because it brought more opportunity. When I quit modelling, coming back to Vancouver, I registered at the University of Victoria.

Cobie Smulders

I couldn't survive just doing independent movies. And I'd rather do modelling than movies or TV I didn't like.

Chloe Sevigny

Theatre offers live interaction with the audience, unlike in movies and TV serials.

Himani Shivpuri

I juggle so many hats that it takes something really special to convince me to get back to acting in films or TV serials.

Amala Akkineni

When I was in my freshman year at college I took some acting classes and found that I fell in love with it again.

Mary-Kate Olsen

Growing up, all of my friends would set their schedules to the showing of kung fu movies on TV.

Rza

I had no idea what it took to be an actor. Then all of a sudden I found myself cast in a TV drama. The director was very harsh with me. One time, he told me this would be my first and last acting job. I seriously thought that acting was not the right career for me.

Lee Byung-hun

Besides 'Mahabharat,' I am also acting in two serials - 'Karam Apnaa Apnaa' and 'Kyunki.' Three serials at one time mean I won't have time for anything else.

Hiten Tejwani

With 'Agent Vinod', there was a lot of chaos with schedules and the film took a year and a half to shoot.

Sriram Raghavan

Modelling was never a career option for me; it was always a hobby. I was modelling while I was pursuing my B.Tech, so the obvious choice after finishing my studies was to do a job. But while I was modelling and doing TV commercials, I really loved being in front of the camera. I enjoyed the shooting process.

Kriti Sanon

When I came into television, the serials were all women-centric, while the men had to stand around like furniture. I wasn't willing to be a prop in serials. To my good fortune, I got serials where I was a central character.

Ashish Sharma

I joined a campus competition, as I felt I could do comedy, and I won. Then I started doing standup gigs in 2009 while completing my law degree, but I never told my parents. They only discovered a few years later.

Ronny Chieng

I became an actress way into my 30s because I thought that I had to find my own way, and that's why I worked so much in modelling, until I realised that the differences between acting and modelling weren't that great. I always say that modelling is a little bit like being a silent actress.
