During a chat with Outlook, the actress opened up on her choice of roles and how she tries to remain versatile. She shared, "You need to earn your stripes. I try to challenge myself every time because one knows the kind of performance one is capable of. Till they don’t see it, they may not imagine you in it the way you can as there are always safer options that are tried and tested.”
On being asked about her vision going further, “In terms of my vision, while I am very happy continuing to do the kind of roles that people and markets have happily accepted me doing and given me a lot of love for, the actor in me feels ready now to break the mould and put out performances that would surprise people. For them to see me in avatars or in characters that they would have never even imagined me in, whether it is a biopic or an unconventional dark character with gravitas and I think I am ready for that because I know I can bring that to the table.”
