Talking about her first role, she told IndianExpress, “I so easily landed my first role that I was yet to process it. I was anticipating ‘Mai Mumbai toh jaa rahi hu par director bolega isse kaam nahi hopayega (I am going to Mumbai but the director may not approve of my work).’ I was quite nervous and scared. The ad I was offered was quite big. The set terrified me. The guy who was seated next to me, also part of the ad, he told me, ‘I am too new, please co-operate with me.’ I said, ‘I am newer, you too co-operate with me.’ But, after I gave my shot, the director told me, ‘Ma ji, ap bahaut acha kar rahi hai’. I was over the moon. All my fears went away. I was motivated.”
