useful in your modeling in acting career

you cannot go a day without wearing
sunscreen who's her fashion icon cliche
but Audrey Hepburn what are three things
that every woman should own an amazing
amount of jeans um an amazing white
shirt and the correct lingerie and
what's the most extravagant thing that
you've ever worn
I'd say the pink ah she stood your gun

dress yes

iconic office which one would it be I'd
want to steam all of her short costumes
to be honest you were recently named one
of time 100 most influential people yes
how did that feel I have to admit I did
feel a small sense of achievement and
you chose to share your experience of
living with depression how did it feel
to speak about that for the first time
very liberating what was your motivation
to do that to destigmatize mental
illness what do you think the most
common misconception is about depression
that if one happened to anyone
what's your life mantra live love and
love what does feminism mean to you
equality how do you feel about where
feminism is currently in India it's in a
great place but we
have a long way to go if you can have a
debate with anyone in the world who
would it be
little children because they're so
innocent oh and what would it be about
about how they're so cute and why they
should ever grow up
