When television became popular, reality shows started coming up and with such reality shows, people got a platform to show their talent.

Growing up, I spent a lot of time in the darkened theatres.

I used to assist my chachaji in his artificial jewellery business. One day, I got the opportunity to visit V. Shantaram's film set to supply some jewellery. Curiosity got the better of me and before I knew it, I was playing an extra. Soon, roles with dialogues followed and the rest as they say, is history.

For me, there is no specific place which I need to go to pray since I believe in one god.

The men and women of my generation are heirs to that great collective success which has been admired worldwide and of which we are so proud. It is now up to us to pass it on to the coming generations.

As an actress, I am happy that people are offering me good roles and I am earning success critically and commercially.

Books written by boys are given very different treatment to those written by girls: they're even given very different covers. People also expect, in this YA-booming world, girls to be less experimental than boys: girls are achieving a lot of success, but they're confined.

I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings.
