She said: "When I moved to Bombay. I was 20 and that's it. I'm a Maths graduate, so I had told myself I will give it (acting) a try for 2 years and if it doesn't work out, I'll get back to my studies. That's the reason I completed my graduation. The first film happened when I was in college."
She further mentioned: "But, I fell short of attendance and then I was like no, let me finish my college. So yeah I gave myself 2 years, luckily things worked out. But Plan B was that I would do an MBA in Fashion but, luckily I didn't have to do that, it worked out."

She further mentioned: "Whatever I have done in my life from being a complete outsider, not knowing a soul in the industry is due to my discipline. When I started out. I didn't know how I would crack it, or what the way was going to be. I just figured the route on the way, but I was disciplined."
"I knew that this is the amount of work I have to put in. When I was not working, I was auditioning. I had a timetable even then. I always believe if you put in those many hours, the universe will make it happen for you. Because you are giving that intention that it is happening," she added.
