Tell us something about your childhood and family?

I was born and brought up in Toronto, Canada. My family is originally from Morocco, North Africa. I am very close to my 13-year-old brother.

Why did you decide to come to India?

I might have decided to shift to India four years ago but I feel it was destined. I came here when a Mumbai-based agency asked me to come under a commercial modeling contract for three months. I felt it was an opportunity for me to figure out if India was the right place for me to pursue my dreams of becoming an actress and entertainer.

What’s keeping you busy these days?

My show, Dating in the Dark, with MTV channel has been keeping me extremely busy with daily shoots. I was also busy shooting for my new song Dil bar. At the moment, I am traveling, busy with interviews and working on collaborations with international artists.

How was your experience as a Bigg Boss contestant?

It was life changing and fun, I would say. It was a great experience, where I learnt a lot about human emotions. The show also proved to be a good platform for me, helping me build my name in India.

Your belly dancing prowess was talked about in the show also. Are you a trained dancer?

I have never trained in any dance form. Any dance style that you see me performing is self-taught. I continue to teach myself as I grow as an artist.
