The ‘Simmba’ star stated, “I think living with a single mother has a huge role to play in it. At a very early age, I realized koi aapke liye kuch karne nahi wala (nobody is going to do anything for you). It’s not that I don’t get help, I do. But ultimately, you are the mover and initiator of your life. If you are lucky, stars align and God wills, then it will happen. You can’t be waiting around for things to happen, it doesn’t work like that.”

Coming to the professional front, the 28-year-old actress will be next seen portraying an unsung hero in ‘Ae Watan Mere Watan.’ Talking about her role, she briefly expressed, “It is the most gratifying experience to be headlining a film like this. It’s about time, because you are going to see a side of me which even I have not seen before.”
