Tell us about your education.

I’ve done bachelors degree in Journalism and Mass Communication at Vivekananda Education of Professional Studios, Delhi. After that I went onto do my Masters, but two months into it, I got a call for an audition, and I came to Mumbai. So, I never could get time to finish my maters.

What are your favourite childhood memories?

I was a very playful kid. I used to play with my friends all through the day, and my mother would get tired of me not coming back home from play. I used to have a lot of fun playing with my friends as a kid.

Who inspired you to take up acting as a career?

It’s my parents who have really amazing personalities. They all wanted to get into the entertainment industry. Especially my grandmother, she was just so beautiful in her younger days. But now I feel like I made their dreams come true.

When and how did you get into acting?

After my college, I started giving auditions. It was my second or third audition, and I was called to Bombay. So, that’s how it all started. But when I was three, I did do a serial in DD Metro called We Love You. But I had to leave it because I was way too young. So, my parents decided that I’d get back to acting maybe later in life. But it was then that I decided that I wanted to become an actor.

Please briefly describe your journey so far?

It’s been almost three and half years, and it’s been amazing. It’s always gotten better with each project. God has been very kind to me, and I’ve been able to achieve a lot due to the blessing and support from my family and friends. I still just feel it’s the start, and there’s a long way to go.

How was your experience working on Crashh web series?

With Crashh, I got a good taste of the web space. I’ve worked in television before, but Crashh taught me a lot about acting, and being myself. The experience has been amazing. From the director to my coach, everyone was amazing. I’ve learned so much from them all.

How do you feel it ranking on top?

I feel blessed and overwhelmed, and I don’t have words to express how I feel. I feel blessed.

What was your favourite part of Crashh?

I did poetry, which I think was super fun, and really interesting.

What projects are you now working on?

I’m working on a few music videos, and I have a web project coming up. But due to the pandemic, a lot of things got pushed. But I can’t wait to bounce back soon, and start shooting again!

If not an actor, what would you be?

I had plan Bs but I love being an actor. But if not an actor, I would have either been a VJ or maybe a reporter- I always wanted to be on the screen. But acting has always been my preference.

Best thing about being an actress?

I get to play a lot of characters. I may not be a warrior princess in real life, but on screen I can. So, it’s interesting to live the lives of various characters.

..And the hardest?

Rumours. With all the attention you may get, there also come nasty comments. I also don’t like how female actors get paid less than male actors. People need to understand that women deserve equal pay.

What do you like to do away from acting?

When I’m away from acting, I love to travel, and I love to spend time with my family, and friends. So, when I’m not acting, I’m either traveling or working out.

Which Bollywood actor are you keen to work with and why?

Ranveer Singh. We’re both extremely energetic, I love his vibe. He’d be amazing to work with.

The hardest or difficult scene you’ve ever filmed?

A lot of scenes have been difficult. There are many times when I laugh through the day, but then I have to deliver a sad scene. So having to get emotional intentionally can be mentally draining. Even when you have to happy onscreen when you’re sad- well, that’s sad.

Three things that make you happy?

Little things make me happy. Like spending time with my family and friends, going out with them, watch movies, and travelling. I love workations as well. I also do appreciate the little efforts that are put in by my friends, or even special fan messages; it makes me happy.

Do you have any tricks or routines to stay healthy and beautiful?

I think my mother can answer that. For me, I use a lot of home remedies to keep myself looking good. I use milk for my skin. I also eat healthy, and stay away from junk food.

Your motto in life?

Simple Living and High Thinking. Live and Let Live.

Do you have any other secret talent(s)?

I can sing, and I recently started playing Ukele. I also play the guitar and the drums. I can also mimic people sometimes. I’m also a quick learner.
