TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND...
I was born and raised in Kohima and I am the youngest of five daughters. My late father belonged to the Angami tribe and my mum to the Ao tribe. Being all girls, my siblings and I had a very sheltered life and in many ways, we still do. My parents were very protective and my sisters and I always had strict curfews and a long list of do’s and don’ts. I attended an all-girls’ Catholic school, Little Flower Hr. Sec. School till my 10th standard after which I moved to Shillong, Meghalaya to complete the rest of my schooling. I started modelling when I was 15.
DID YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BECOME AN ACTOR?
For the entirety of my childhood and through most of my teenage years, my principal ambition was to study medicine so that I could become a doctor and work back home in Kohima. Because I was still studying and also given the opportunity to explore other things, I was, in a way, given a gist of what things could be like for me if I chose to pursue modelling. I loved that I was a part of such creative projects and so, the notion of taking up a more conventional profession took a different course after I gave modelling a shot.
