“When I wanted to get into acting, I didn’t have much trouble convincing my father. I am the only daughter and his favorite. My father also knew that I would always go for anything I wanted and not let acting affect my education. He was so proud of me when people starting telling him that they saw me acting on screen.
“I call my mother a hustler; I learned how to be strong from her. Till now, I still learn a lot from her and she has always been there for me, ” she concludes.
