One common thing that my character and I share is that we both have specs. In my actual life also, I am exactly like Mishti.

I like swimming and playing football in my free time.

If not an actor, I would have been a journalist, but my first priority was always acting, and I had a wish to be in front of the camera.

I like reading and binging on Netflix shows.

These days, while shooting, I keep sipping green tea and working out in my make-up room during intervals.

I am an introvert and take time to know someone.

Not many know, but I am a very good rapper. In fact, I entertained my cast during our outdoor shoot in Kutch.

I love dancing, and one dance form that I am really good at is jazz.
