In an interview, she was asked how she started her career as a model? She said,

I was a nerd but was also into athletics. I was more like a Tomboy and modelling wasn’t really my thing. My friends told me that I am tall enough to try my hand in films. I started modelling during my second year of college. I did ramp modelling and pursued it as part-time. I wanted to earn from my young age and did modelling as a short-term plan. Initially, when I had gone to meet him, he thought I was too modern for the role. But suddenly my production designer put a big ‘bindi’ on my forehead and he felt he found his character.”

During an interview, she talked about her parents’ reaction on starting her career as an actor. She said,

Initially, my parents were not happy with my decision. I never planned to do films because when I started modelling, I wanted to participate in beauty pageants. When films happened, it was like a cultural shock for my parents. They were more scared about my safety in the industry. But once I started working, I met good people and they were satisfied and relaxed.”

Been a water baby since I was a little girl! If not an actor, I think I’d be a diver( or trying to be one). This is from one of my many diving trips and being the happiest underwater. It’s humbling. And Scuba diving is sensual in a way, y’know?”
