Nia Sharma

Yes, my fashion sense is outrageous, but I am a rebel. I am young and still growing up.

If someone makes a supernatural-themed show, and it becomes the best show, you are only making money and becoming famous. You are not learning anything from it. It's pure entertainment, even if the content is regressive.

Learning how to swim is the biggest achievement for me, as it helped me get rid of hydrophobia. Now I have become a complete water baby.

It's crazy to call myself as the sexiest woman. I'm like, wow; this is cool. Looking at the past years, I was expecting 5th or 6th position. But standing on the 3rd position was totally unexpected.

I like to style myself and aim to wear the coolest of clothes that I can lay my hands on! It's my conscious effort to look different and dress up funky. I feel elated that people notice the crazy things I do.

I would not mind stepping into movies if it is a good project. If it is changing my career in a good way, then of course I will keep money aside.

Why are people making it so difficult for girls to live the way they want to in India? Let's not make India a place where a girl has to think 10 times before going out or wearing what she wants.

It is always good to keep looking different and desirable.

I'm not running after glamorous roles, honestly. I'm a performer and want to perform instead of standing like a mannequin wearing a lot of makeup.

I enjoy interacting with my fans.

A 12-hour shift is physically exhausting. You give multiple shots, wearing heavy jewellry and make-up - and end up with dark circles, acne, and skin problems.

Ek Hazaaron Mein' turned out to be my identity, it made me Nia Sharma in the industry.
