1- Who Is your favorite director to work with and why?
I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to work with such talented directors but my favourite to date has to be Mohit Suri. I really feel that he goes the extra mile in delivering a phenomenal cinematic experience and it is a huge honour to work with him.
2- Any goal for this year on the personal or professional front ?
On a professional front it is always about taking it to the next level. Going bigger, as the saying goes, go big or go home. I have an exceptionally strong work ethic and consistently push myself to break barriers and achieve more complex desires.
On a personal front, I would say to expand my charity endeavours. We are currently in the process of finalising my logo which will be the real trademark of my charity.
3- Share your biggest career challenge so far?
I would say it is mastering Hindi, simply because I want to perfect it and not let it hinder my performance in any way. Hindi will always be a learning experience for me, and I would love to speak it as fluently as I speak English. I just feel also it would give me better reach both on a professional and personal front.
4- If we ask you to Admire any part of movie making what would be like?
I would have to say it is the moment the director shouts action, and it is like you enter into the characters world. You forget everything about who you are and you become one with the character. It is honestly like being in another world.
5- Your dream character or role ?

I would love to have a kick ass martial arts role. Strong female lead, a real game changer in cinema.
6- You look absolutely stunning and fit in personal life … would like to share the secret to maintain it ?
I would say it is all about moderation and consistency but also enjoying the process. I eat what I want but i enjoy working out. I regularly mix up my fitness routine to challenge my body but also to keep it fun so that I remain engaged. In terms of food, it is all about moderation. Have pizza but make it yourself. I make my own food, i enjoy cooking but I also feel when you cook your own food, you are aware of what you put in it, and I feel that home cooked food suits me better than take outs etc.
7- How do you look fitness in personal life ?
I think its important to make it a part of your personal life and a routine. It really does improve your quality of life both mentally as well as physically.
8- What’s your favorite body part exercise ?
Haha I do not think I have a favourite exercise but I just try to make it as enjoyable as possible.
9- Lots of readers of our magazine are teenagers and early 20ies – Any tip for being a Role model for them?
Always be true to yourself and believe in you. You only have one life and you really have to go all out and push yourself to achieve your dreams. You must be resilient always.
10- How do you look upon the current pandemic for future projects & challenges for newcomers who want to make a career in bollywood ?
I think it will be challenging as there are reduced budgets, so there will be limited roles but the key is to not give up.
11- You are a supermodel and successful actress; expectations are really high – how do you manage pressure from peers and society?
It is important to stay focussed and not let criticism and comments get to you. It is easier said than done, but you have to remember it is your life and only you can walk your path.
