Describe yourself
I’m a cleanliness freak. I belong to Saharanpur, near Dehradun. I come from industrialist background, my father is an industrialist and he is into chemical business. I have done my college from New Delhi as a Merchandise student and simultaneously I did modelling and my first debut with the song 'Aila re Aila' with Akshay Kumar in film 'Khatta Meetha', directed by Priyadarshan.
How did you get your first break?
I started getting modelling offers while I was doing my course from NIFT, from here my modelling career commenced. I was crossing the road outside my college when a photographer saw me and he thought I was a Kashmiri and offered me Satya Paul’s advertisement for Kashmiri jackets and that’s how my modelling career bloomed. Soon after that, I was one of the judges at Kerala pageant and Priyadarshan was my co judge, he saw me and gave me my first break opposite Akshay Kumar. He wanted a girl who looks like Dimple Kapadia and he felt I look a bit like her.
You always wanted to be an actress or it was all luck by chance?
