Opening up about the same, "I've loved playing every character I've been given. My latest role was in a fantasy drama where I played a negative character who could fly—something that isn't possible in real life. In Sun Neo’s Saajha Sindoor, I play a stepmother with grey shades, which is quite different from the roles I’ve done before. It was a lot of fun and exciting. For me, the real challenge as an actor is taking on roles that are very different from who I am. Imagining and bringing these unique characters to life is what makes acting special for me."

 

The actress also talked about the major changes she's seen over the years and how they've helped her balance her work and personal life. “I've been lucky to work with many experienced professionals, which has really broadened my experience. I've learned a lot about my work and how to balance my personal and professional life. I'm grateful to have worked with such talented people in the industry,” she added.
