High point in life: My debut, Chehre, 2021. I got to work with Amitabh Bachchan. It was the beginning of more high points.
Low point in life: In 2018, there was so much uncertainty and self-doubt, it felt overwhelming. That phase taught me to trust myself.
On my playlist: Shararat, from Dhurandhar; Haseen, by NDS, Rippy Grewal, and Talwiinder; Ma Tnsani (Yalla Habibi) by AYA and Vanco.
One thing I would never buy: Validation. It can’t come from external approval.
Today I’m craving: Dosa and gunpowder idlis with chutney.
Last thing I ordered online: Skincare and wellness essentials, I love pampering myself.
App I check before bed: Instagram. My FYP is all motivational Reels and quotes.
Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self: Hang in there, stop rushing timelines, and believe that everything happens exactly when it’s meant to.
My favourite subject in school: Art class. I have always been creative and artistic.
I’d swipe right on: Kindness, emotional maturity, honesty, and transparency. They stand the test of time.
My secret skill is: I listen deeply. I sense emotions easily. People open up to me without hesitation.
A superpower/magic tool I wish I had: I wish I could be like a genie, and just pop up and grant wishes.
My favourite Sunday memory: Spending time with family, going to church and meeting friends. Home-cooked meals, and feeling completely safe and carefree.
My plans for next Sunday: I’m exploring a foreign country.
My most star-struck moment: Meeting Amitabh Bachchan on set. I saw how humble and grounded he is.
My favourite bad habit: Overthinking.
If I could travel back or forward in time… I would like to see where I am in life 10 years on. Would I have the same friends, the same house? What’s my career like? Relationships? Everything. But I’d come back to the present.
The best thing about fame: The love and the unconditional support from fans. It’s humbling and motivating.
The worst thing about fame: Sometimes, people forget that public figures are human too.
