“I wanted to curate a cosmetics line for years, but it needed to be credible and a game-changer of sorts, something that women around the world would respect and relate to.”

“Back then when I started off, I did not expect anything at all from myself. I just knew I wanted to dance. At that time there were no reality shows, we did not have platforms like YouTube where we could learn from.”

“I feel great to work under Remo sir.”

“I want dance to emerge as a field where people can feel proud of being a dancer and they shouldn't feel the need to be a Bollywood actor.”

“All the Bollywood choreographers are so talented and inspiring. I am learning a lot just by observing their work.”

“I just love Madhuri Dixit. Her presence fills me with positive energy.”

“Always wear what makes you comfortable. And when you are out shopping, make sure your bargaining skills are on point.”

“I was on my way to fetch my little sister from school when I met with an accident. A bike which was at a very high speed ran over my leg while I was crossing the road. My leg was so badly fractured that it took me almost seven months to be able to stand on my legs again.”

“I have been living and experiencing dance everyday in my life.”

“I, along with my sisters Neeti and Mukti, did my schooling from BITS Pilani in the Shekhawati region. So, I am very well aware of Rajasthan, its culture, life, heritage, music, food and everything it is famous for. And it's no exaggeration to say that Rajasthan gave me the best childhood memories.”

“I like being on stage more. That's stress free. Being on the panel is a big responsibility and you need to keep a check on a lot of things.”

“Travelling exposes you to diverse culture, art and dance.”

“I think without following a diet, staying fit is not possible.”

“Being part of reality shows is not easy as I had to learn some new forms that I had never heard of. There were times when I was given two days to learn a new form and perform it in front of thousands! That was a challenge for me.”

“DID' has given me all the confidence that a new artist needs.”

“I believe if you are a good performer, then nothing can stop you.”

“Kathak and Bharatnatyam are my forte.”
