The actress took a trip down memory lane and recalled her journey in the world of showbiz.

"I started my acting career in 2023, two years back working as an on-off continuity artist. I got to play an important role of Tarabai in Vicky Kaushal starred bollywood movie Chhaava. And with the blessings of God, I'm thrilled to live my dreams as currently I'm enjoying playing Sukoon, the face of the TV show Dilwali Dulha Le Jayegi."

I was earlier selected to play lead in a show, Deewani, I signed the agreement and was about to start my shoots but was replaced in final proceedings.”
