“The best thing about marriage? It’s like having a long sleepover with a friend!” Actor Tisca Chopra in a candid chat
Intimate talk about work, movies and her personal strategy in a crisis
If not an actress, what would you have been?
Since I’m deeply influenced by the works of Frank Gehry, the famous architect, I’d have been one.
An actor you really admire...?
Meryl Streep.
A film genre you’d love to try...?
I’m dying to do a romantic film.
What’s the craziest thing a fan has done for you?
A guy flew down from Oman, slept in his car for three to four days outside my house and all he wanted to do was to shake hands with me. It was crazy as well as scary.
How do you handle trolls?
By not paying any attention to them.
Your definition of love....?
It’s largely indescribable and is about having someone’s back, knowing that you will put them before yourself.
One thing you can do better than your mother...?
Make-up!
One thing that no one knows about you is...?
I will give up pretty much anything to have frozen yogurt. I’ll travel miles for it, fill up the biggest tub with it and not share with anyone!
Which is your all-time favourite TV show?
Breaking Bad.
And what’s it like anchoring a show on TV?
It feels great to be a part of a show like Savdhaan India that spreads awareness about crime.
If you woke up as a man one day, what would you do?
Go back to sleep!
And what’s the best thing about marriage?
It’s like having a long sleepover with a friend.
What’s your strategy in a crisis?
Every crisis demands a different strategy. I’m pretty Zen though, I’m a good mix of Punjabi nerves with a Buddhist focus.
What do you love most about Delhi?
The winters, the food and the roads.
Share your fitness mantra with us.
Yoga. We massively undermine its ability!
