Q. What made you switch from modelling to acting in ‘Kathakaar’?

Modelling allowed me to express myself in still images, but acting offered me a new challenge – bringing a character to life and telling a story through emotions and dialogue. Kathakaar presented me with the perfect opportunity to immerse myself in a narrative that resonated deeply with me, allowing me to explore a different facet of creativity and connect with audiences on a more personal level.
Q. What was it like working on a film set?
TO. Working on a film set was an incredible experience. Bringing each scene to life was truly transformative. I deeply identified with the character I played, and that connection made the entire journey even more captivating. What made it even more special was the cast and crew – their positivity and support created an atmosphere that was both inspiring and empowering. It was a life-changing experience in every way.
Q. What changed for you after winning the Mrs India title?
TO. After winning the Mrs. India title, the most profound change for me has been the overwhelming love and warmth I have received from people all over the world. This outpouring of support and affection has truly been unparalleled. It has been incredibly heartwarming to see how this title resonates with so many people, and I feel deeply grateful for the connections I have made and the encouragement that continues to inspire me every day.
Q. Are there any more acting offers on the market?
TO. I have received several interesting offers. It has been wonderful to see the opportunities that have come my way. However, I am carefully considering each one as I want to make sure that any project I take on brings something new to my audience. A new music video that I just finished filming is about to be released and I am so excited for everyone to check it out!
