“It is different because 'Grahan' was promoted Pan India and audience from all over the country watched it. It was obviously a very different feeling and a different kind of success.”

“I never thought I was beautiful.”

“I have a Punjabi film 'Nikha Zaildar 2,' directed by Simerjeet Singh. It is a 1970s drama set in old Punjab. There are two heroines. I play Sawan a teacher.”

“As a Punjabi, I feel we need to buckle up with more discipline.”

“These days, I ask anyone I meet if I can do a wrestling move on them.”

“Whatever I have been doing in regional cinema, is restricted to the region.”

“Stage phobia never touched me. I was naturally drawn towards the spotlight.”

“Obviously... I feel it is important for women as well as men. Learning any kind of martial arts will help them when faced with atrocities. There are many incidents where men are also attacked.”

“I have never slapped a boy in my life except for my brother.”

“As an actress, I am eager to explore different characters.”

“I am just so glad to be a part of the industry right now, where everyone from across the country want to collaborate with each other and tell really beautiful stories.”

“My dadi was hospitalized because of COVID, and my chacha, a doctor, and brother, also tested positive.”

“I don't discern between OTT and theatre because this is incredible work that I 'chose' to do.”

“I have no filmi background.”

“After playing such a strong character like Aditi Singh in 'Godha,' I was keen to play strong roles in Malayalam.”

“You can't discuss everything with a male director.”

“All I knew about Malayalam cinema prior to 'Godha' was that it is an industry that celebrates content and has an audience that appreciates it.”

“I make sure my lip sync is correct. It's a long process. But I enjoy it.”

“I believe that OTT platforms definitely have helped neutralize the budget debate in the industry. Instead of only casting A-listers in the lead, makers are now more receptive and willing to try out newer actors for their big, multi-million projects.”

“When I realized I can actually lift and drop someone, I was convinced I have become stronger.”
