Adopt, there is enough in this world. ”

I don’t understand what triggered this because I was polite but he became rude. One of the African American employees said we looked like we just got off the boat and didn’t speak English. This is insulting and blatantly racist. My friends and I were shocked. Experiencing this kind of racism in America is painful; I have never faced it before. I told them to call the police but they refused to do so. ”
- In an interview, when asked if she had always wanted to be an actress or if she had other aspirations, she replied:
To be honest, I do have other wishes. I want to be a veterinarian because I love animals very much, but the problem is that I can’t stand looking at injured animals, so my mom told me that I can’t be such a veterinarian. So that killed my dream (laughs). In the middle, I had a big dream: to become a businesswoman. However, I don’t know what business to do. So I had a lot of aspirations, but acting was always my passion. ”
- In addition to being an actress, she is also an environmental activist. She owns an NGO called Stamp Foundation.
- As a fitness enthusiast, she is often photographed working out at the gym.

- In an interview, when talking about her acting career not developing as she imagined, she said:
I wore every stone, consulted every astrologer, and did every puja possible (laughs!). I was very young and when someone told me, “Achha, yeh pehen lo, this is good for you,” that’s what I did. I realized it wasn’t like that. I did everything I needed to do for my career. I even went to meet the director, but I guess it was not good for me. I think they were embarrassed that I saw them because it was a different time. Also, it will put you in a negative light, “ki iske paas kaam nahi hai”. Breaking out of conventional thinking is difficult. ”
- She follows a non-vegetarian diet.
