I have always learnt that focus and hard work works wonders. I have a strong desire to succeed here and want to be known as a good actress.

I have had some initial training at Anupam Kher's acting school. But I think many things will be learnt on the job. As it is, I am trying to improve my dialogue delivery in Kannada. Though I was born and brought up in Bangalore, my accent is not as good as is expected in this industry.

What has been your best modelling assignment so far?

There are many assignments where I have made a strong impact. But the best for me has been the Lyril ad, because everything was perfect there -- the background, music. I had to concentrate a lot during the shoot. I did the Uff Yuh Maa dance on my own. In the Close Up ad, I found it a challenge to match my eye movements while looking at a pole.
