How would you describe your time on television?
My time working on television can be described as a live experience of what I had been dreaming of since childhood.
Which project has given you the greatest joy?
Every project is a dream come true for me. I am excited and joyous while doing every one of them.
Tell us about your current project?
Manmohini on Zee TV is the series I’m working on now. We work for 15 hours a day, but I love it.
What is the biggest challenge of working on this show?
Well, the greatest challenge I am facing while doing Manmohini is that my character is a loud and happy-go-lucky girl. So, I tend to put all my energy in every dialogue and body language while trying to keep it natural and not go over the top.
What is the master plan going forward?
There can be only one master plan – that is to work hard and smart.
What’s your dream role?
My dream role is to be Super Girl in a sci-fi film.
Who is your acting hero?
Irrfan Khan is my favourite. I just love the way he portrays each one of his roles with utmost ease, making it a visual treat.
What do you enjoy watching on TV and have you binge-watched anything recently?
I have binged watched two series recently. They are The Girl and Dynasty.
What inspires you?
People coming from simple and irrelevant backgrounds and doing well in various fields inspire me.
Why do you love being an actor?
I can’t love only a single thing about being an actor. From makeup, costumes, acting, fame, attention and money, I love everything.
