For starters, the film gave me hope that there is a lot more for me to do, at a time when I was lost in a personal tragedy. I started shooting for the film a month after my father passed away. I know how I dealt with it and took care of my mom and sister, which incidentally, is a part of the film as well, as my character faces a similar situation. I really connected with the character, especially the strength she shows in the face of adversity.”

It’s been over a year since I gave birth to Aarav. My body has gone through a lot of physical changes due to the delivery process and feeding, so I have started hitting the gym. Now, I feel I am ready to get back to acting again. It doesn’t matter whether it is the big screen and silver screen as times are changing. People showered me with love and blessings in Ashwini Nakshtra which helped me go a long way in my career. If I get a character which satisfies me, I will grab it.”
