“With 'Idol' it's kind of just like 'OK, here's this competition - I need to do better than somebody else.'”

“'Sparkle' fell into my lap. I had heard a little bit about it, that it was being redone in early 2011. I was just kind of like, 'Oh, that would be really cool,' and not really thinking too much about it, and then it came through my agency. I read it, I fell in love with the script and I went in to audition.”

“My heroes are just everyday people who work hard, are honest and have integrity.”

“'Hum-Tum' is my tribute to Kishor Kumar as he is my idol.”

“My father is my idol. He supports me all the time. He has given me the way to life.”

“On a personal level, my mom is my biggest inspiration. She's always been an idol for me. I used to dream about growing up and being like her.”
