Excerpts:
You were initially hesitant about entering the movies. What ultimately encouraged you to step into this field?
I mean, we all change. We evolve. And everyone's free to change their mind at some point.
I was 20 when I said NO.
I'm 26 now. A lot of things change in six years. I decided not to be so hesitant and take a leap.
You gained recognition for your straightforwardness on The Tribe. Was that something you deliberately planned?
Not at all. The show was not scripted. If it were scripted, it would have been easier.
You don't plan these things; they just happen.
Who are your favourite designers?
I love Anamika (Khanna), Gaurav Gupta and Manish (Malhotra).
A fashion trend you think should really disappear.
You know those body-hugging type dresses? Like those little black dresses? I'll quit now. That's it!
If you could only choose one outfit to wear for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Blue denims, a white t-shirt and boots. It never goes out of fashion.
Final question. Have you maintained friendships with any of the cast members from the show?
Yeah. Alaviaa (Jaaferi) and I are friends. Srushti Porey (influencer) and I talk very often.
Alanna (Panday)'s just become a mom so she's very busy.
Aryaana Gandhi is still in LA, so she's busy as well.
But I'm in touch with everyone.
