Sobhita Dhulipala Doesn't Care For Bad Texters

She's fire, she's ice; I'd say she's all things nice. Few actors have the kind of presence as Sobhita Dhulipala. Commanding attention but never overpowering with it. A star of her own kind. Quite like her movies & shows. Unconventional, you'd say. Unique, a better word. Who else can do Made in Heaven, Raman Raghav 2.0, The Night Manager, Love, Sitara and Moothon, and yet keep us all guessing about her next moves? The moment you start to feel you've kinda, sorta figured her next professional moves, she surprises you with a part & performance that's far removed from anything she's done, or something you'd imagined her to do.

The same unpredictable magic is visible in full flow should you run into her off screen. Take, for instance, our recent encounter with her. When she sashayed on the ramp for designer Rahul Mishra's finale show, presented by Nexxus New York, at Hyundai India Couture Week 2026, she looked every bit as spectacular as you'd expected her to, yes, but behind the scenes, she was also just as sassy as I had hoped she'd be. Wise-words and one-liners in equal amounts. Sobhita Dhulipala didn't disappoint but then, when has she ever done that? 

Here's a fun conversation we had with her, before she took to the ramp, as part of our 'Men take Notes' series. She was fun & didn't hold back. Exactly how we like our responses. And for your sake, dear men, we sincerely hope you'd do as told. 

Edited excerpts below:

What is he’s a 10 but he doesn't believe in splitting things 50-50? 

He's still a 10. I mean, he can believe, not believe. I have my own beliefs. So, it's fine. 

He’s a 10 but his personality changes when his boys show up? 

His what show up? I thought you said balls. (laughs) I mean, that's okay. I think I also have a different personality for my parents, my friends and all. It's okay.  

If he's a 10 but he says he is a bad texter? 

Nah, if he wanted to, he would.  

What if he is a 10 but won't switch to Nexxus New York haircare? 

Zero 

If he's a 10 but he doesn't post on Instagram? 

That's okay. I'm like that. I'm a bit clueless myself.  

Lastly, he's a 10 but he is not obsessed with you? 

Okay, how rude
