fHow did you bag the role of Mahi in ‘Taish’? How relatable was the character for you?

I got a call for an audition for Mahi’s character. It was the role of a bride. I went through the audition process and got selected. Bejoy Nambiar told me to think before accepting it but there was something about the role, it had drama and I decided to go with it as I was going to work with an experienced director and get to learn a lot of things. I loved the story of ‘Taish’ and gave a nod. Both Mahi and I believe in being honest even though the repercussions can be harsh. 

f You have been a part of films and OTT platform shows/films, what do you enjoy more?

Movies have different magic, but I am thankful to OTT platforms for giving me enthralling roles and lead ones too. My heart is for the movies but web shows have a different effect, they last long with the audience.

f Which is your favourite character from movies/web shows that you have been a part of?

Nandani from ‘Always Kabhi Kabhi’ and Mahi from ‘Taish’ and Akoori are the characters I love and these have been very close to my heart.

f You are the first celebrity to contract Covid-19 and also to donate plasma. What was that experience like? How has your life been post covid?

I did not know something like plasma existed, it was when my mother and I read in the newspaper about people recovering from Covid can donate blood and I decided to take that step and my parents were worried about the cleanliness but luckily I knew the doctor and convinced my parents, it was a good experience and am grateful that I got a chance to do that. Post-Covid life has not changed, I am just being a little more careful and healthy. 

f Every actor has a dream to work their favourite director and a dream role? Who and what would that be for you?

The character that I would have wanted to play would be the girl in ‘The Notebook’, since I am romantic I would love to play an intense role. Dream director would be Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the character I would I like to portray from his movies would be Nandani from ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’.

fAny upcoming projects? 

I am going to be a part of Reema Kagti’s ‘Fallen’ which also stars Sonakshi Sinha and Gulshan Devaiah in lead. I have a special appearance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Tuesdays and Fridays’.
