On being asked who is her favourite style icon, the actor replied,  “I love Sarah Jessica Parker and Anna Dello Russo .They are my style icons”.The actor told how she was always passionate about her profession.

 “ I’ve never done anything that’s paid me in my entire life except acting so there’s nothing else I know”.The actor revealed that she has an array of favourite actors. “Uhh, well the choice is a tough one. I mean I’ve been a fan of Bachhan Saab to Naseer Saab and now I’m a fan of everyone, you know, from Ranveer Singh to Ranbir Kapoor. So it’s very hard. I think it’s the characters that people play that define the actors that you end up liking”. 

Commenting on the importance of Yoga, the former Miss India winner said, “I do yoga about three-four times a week and then apart from that I workout everyday so, I dedicate 60 minutes to 75 minutes to working out no matter what I do”.

Hence, it’s very important to have multiple interests.Advising the new generation aspiring to be models and actors, Dhupia said “You have got to work bloody hard because there’s no other substitute for that.
