EX: Hi Tara, let’s start with the talk of the town! Marjaavaan is out later this year. How has that journey been?

Yes, Marjaavaan releases on 22nd November and it’s been amazing. It’s my second film after Student of the Year 2 which was a fun, young world to be a part of for a year. Marjaavaan happened for me while I was still shooting for SOTY2. The journey has been really really lovely and completely different from my first film. It’s a very emotional, very dramatic love story. The whole team has been fantastic and I’m super excited for its release!

EX: Your debut in Student of the Year 2 was a stepping stone that some people can only dream of. Has life changed in the past couple of months?

I think it was the most fantastic debut, for just about anyone. I feel really lucky to have done that film. Everything just sort of changed quickly and quite dramatically to be honest because of the franchise that it is and the kind of attention that the film got. It is so nice to have people come up to us to just talk and click pictures. Even the media is super friendly and always around. So, things in that aspect really changed. I was just a 22-year-old before and then everything changed quite dramatically in just a few weeks. But yes, it’s been a good ride so far.

EX: Talking about media, it can be a crazy place, as you’d know. Did the overwhelming media outburst change you on a personal level?
