I got a call and sent an audition tape, after which I got selected. I really liked the concept of the show and felt so lucky to be part of it.

This is the first time I played a nurse. I really loved to play the role of a healer. I have always admired nurses and feel that the work they do is incredible, especially in the current Covid-hit world. I am so lucky to be able to play this role.
What has been a memorable moment from being part of this serial?
There was one scene with my mother which was really emotional, and I think we both really cried during the scene. There are some scenes which just stay with you, and this is one of those.

Geet from Jab We Met. Not only am I in love with the story of the film, but I love the character and the transition she has in the movie.

I would have been a pilot! I love to fly.
