Facts/Trivia
- In an interview, she shared about her first meeting with renowned director and producer Ekta Kapoor, she said,
I remember the first time I met Ekta Kapoor and Kapil Ji (directors), I was 16 and went to meet them in a beautiful dress. There was no audition, nothing, they just called me and told me to play this role. Later, I came to know that they had in mind this character, a girl with a petite figure but who behaves like a brother. Her attitude made her a brother, not her personality. I don’t know what made them choose me, but when I started acting, I didn’t know what to do.”
- She shared in an interview that her character ‘Kajal Bhai’ in the TV serial ‘Hum Paanch’ (1995) gained immense popularity in a short span of time and added,
Once, we were shooting outside the bungalow and 2-3 trucks passed by and they actually stopped to salute me and say “Kajal Bhai”, which was unbelievable. It was a bit overwhelming and embarrassing to be honest. For a 16-17 year old kid, it was a bit embarrassing.”

To be honest, I never thought of becoming an actor. But I did a few children’s plays in school because my mother wanted me to open up because I was a shy child.

The short play was directed by Homi Vardy, who later directed Ekta (Kapoor)’s Mano Ya Na Mano, in which I acted in an episode.
