TIME ΤΟ "SPARK"LE

Please tell us about your P growing up days. How did you move from Punjab to the south? What was your dream career in your childhood days?

I was born in Bhatinda, Punjab. My primary years of schooling was in a Convent school in Punjab, Middle years in Mayo College Girls School, Ajmer and passed out IB in Pathways World School in New Delhi. I was always a fun loving, happy, chirpy girl. My dream career in childhood kept changing. Everytime I met someone who was successful, like a Pilot, Astronaut or a Doctor or an IAS/IPS Officer, I kept changing my dream career every now and then. I wanted to be like them all. Till my 12th grade I wasn't really not sure, what I wanted to do? I was good in business studies so I went to a business school abroad for my further studies. In my second year of college, the acting bug bit me and I decided to shift to Mumbai and pursue a career in acting, as this was the only way I could live all the fantasy lives in this one life.

When and how did the journey from modelling to being an actor in the South Indian movie industry happen?

When I was in Canada in 2013, there was a beauty pageant happening called Miss South Asia Canada. I was a complete tomboy and had never worn skirts. I used to wear pants and always mingled with boys. Mostly Guys were me. I'm lucky and God has been very kind to us.

How challenging is it to carve out a niche for yourself?
