I think people perceive me as I'm extremely glamorous but I'm very shy I'm a quiet and introverted person and I think I'm a mix of all things. I like to be in my shell fact as opposed to what profession I'm in and people see me as I'm a very sensitive person like you say "Yaro Ka Yaar" that's what I'm and I'm very thick with the close net of friends and family that I have I think I go all out for people whom I love and my friends are more family to me and I'm very affectionate with my relationships and that's how I feel like my family and friends are worlds to me. I'm a little privacy as a person there are a lot of things people don't know about me you know there's a certain public image that we carry but I'm extremely simple I'm a total goofball not many people know that and extremely lazy when it comes to dressing up trust me it takes a lot out of me to dress up when I do but yea that's me and I'm a workaholic person I think I eat, breath, sleep, work and there's so much that I can't describe myself in one word if I have to describe in one word then I think I'm a passionate person.
How did your career in acting start? Has acting always been a passion of yours?
So, I was not knowing what acting was all about I started it in my childhood I was picked by Kundan Shah Ji for my first Ariel ad and I got excited with the whole adulation I got in school when teachers were coming up to me and you know being very sweet to me and it started like that. I think it took a while to realize the seriousness of my profession as acting and it happened when I entered the daily soaps, I was in my college days at that time and I did a few films also in Kannada and Telugu cinema. I think I started realizing the importance of my art after I passed my whole college phase and my passion started growing by the day it was never like "mei heroine banna chahti hu" that was never in my mind as I was good in my school academics too and I was quite a nerd also so, in fact in my school I was complete nerd this all goofy things comes from my school like I was a first bencher wearing spec's and all and that time I never thought of acting but I think when I got picked up and I was quite amazed why would someone choose me you know for a model I never really believed that I could be a model. I think my acting passion grew with time.
Apart from acting, what other major activities do you usually engage with?
Apart from acting, I love writing I have written some short stories I have written a few concepts in the past which I sort of directed also even in the lockdown I like writing stories and I like creating content, and yes all of those things and never know in future I may take up to direction or some other form of being behind the camera and I'm keeping that option open as well other activities that I engage in I dance I love to dance so, that is something that I'll love to do.
What is the turning point in your career?
The turning point in my career is too soon to say that for me I still feel like a newcomer on every set of mine I still feel like I have miles to go before I sleep I have a lot to achieve so I don't know if I mention turning point I think so it will be like limiting myself which I don't want to do and I don't think turning point has happened yet that's what I feel maybe.
What fitness and diet regimen do you follow?
