- She is a bibliophile. In an interview, she shared her love for the Harry Potter book series, saying,
I like reading and everyone should read. And Harry Potter, I have a special connection with it. I remember being angry about Harry Potter because I started reading it when we were growing up and then the movies came along. I remember the third book or something, I skipped school because they gave out about 100 copies and my name was already written and I was scared. I wanted to be the first of the bunch to read this book. I told my parents that I had to get up in the morning or I would have to get out of school after two o’clock and they said don’t be stupid and I started crying and throwing a tantrum. Then they agreed. Afterwards, I picked up the book and went to school and showed it to everyone. I feel like, just like acting, you have to grow as a person to be able to act well. You can only understand different life situations and cultures when you have different experiences, so either you travel, which I also love to travel, but I end up not having that much time. So, if you don’t have time to travel to so many places, the next best option is to grow through reading. “
