I was a nerd but also played sports. I was more of a tomboy and modeling was not my thing. My friends told me that I was tall enough to try out for movies. I started modeling when I was a sophomore in college. I modeled and took it as a part-time job. I wanted to make money while I was young, so modeling was just a short-term plan for me. Initially, when I went to meet him, he thought I was too modern for the role. But suddenly, my production designer drew a big “bindi” on my forehead and he felt he had found his role. ”

But once I started working, I met nice people and they were happy and relaxed. ”
