- She has been interested in dancing and acting since she was a child.
- She said in an interview that she worked a 9-to-5 job for a few years, but it was never her dream. She wanted to pursue a career in acting and modeling, for which she even joined theater for a few years. In an interview, she talked about how theater changed her life, saying:
In my river rafting life, acting was like a magical floating tube that saved me from the endless abyss of self-doubt and confusion. It gave me shelter and refuge when I was running from myself, or trying to figure out my place in the scheme of things. The ability to act gives me anxiety, sadness, joy, desolation, meaninglessness, energy, a sense of purpose, and expression. It gave me the strength to say things I might never have had the courage or pride to say. “
- She said in interviews that she worked hard to become an actress and that being an online content creator wasn’t the only thing that helped her. In the interview, she further stated,
I don’t know what specifically works for people to get onto OTT platforms, but I do know that if you are a good actor and pass the audition, your online presence will help. Channels are narrowed down to only accepting you instead of social media celebrities, but as I said, there are no rules and sometimes they would actually rather not accept popular faces as long as you are a good actor. “
- She said in an interview that when she was shooting for her first film Tau Jhagdu, her character’s name was changed from Chidiya to Moti because she was really fat at that time.
