1. How did you get into the entertainment industry, and what inspired you to pursue a career as an actor and dancer?

Actually, I used to tell my mother from childhood that I wanted to get into television. Acting is something I have been interested in since my early days. My mother's efforts and her support were also a part of me getting into the entertainment industry. I learned Bharatanatyam by accompanying sister from my neighbourhood to her dance classes. That's how I learned Bharatanatyam. I also learnt different styles along the way.

2. What has been your favourite role to play so far in your career, and why?

Frankly, speaking, I like all the characters I have played so far. But if you ask me specifically, I would say that I loved playing the character I portrayed in the movies 'Enemy' and 'Ratchasan'. Those were the roles that were something notable in my career and bought me to fame.

3. How do you balance your career as an actor, dancer and an influencer?

It is quite difficult to maintain my social media accounts while I am shooting. However, I manage to post selfies or reels taken between shots, which makes it kind of easy. There are also dance rehearsals that happen in between shoots, and sometimes I am unable to attend due to other commitments. Other times, I only have an hour to learn the steps before performing. As I love dancing, it has never been difficult for me.
