“That’s how my struggle began where I found myself completely lost and had to figure out things on my own. I was asked to do things that didn’t support my morals so I returned back to my hometown.”
In the show as well her character is of a very strong and intelligent girl, who despite all the odds tries to excel in her life.
She went on to share her journey, saying: “I then went to Bengaluru for my graduation and started modelling in that city. That’s how I started taking baby steps towards my passion in acting and gradually found myself acting and giving auditions. I also explained to my father about my knack in acting and how I didn’t want to look back and regret not trying.”
