I first came to Mumbai when I was very young. My mom is from here, and dad always had some work around here, so Mumbai always felt like a second home. I moved here when I was 16 and went to junior college here as well.

Somebody with no connection to the film industry may succeed, and somebody with all connections to the industry may not.

My mother herself is a very independent woman, and I've had a leading example in this respect. And my father is a very liberal father who has always taught us to question things. He lives life on his own terms and stands by his beliefs. So, he has also been a great example.

I've never considered myself a feminist, but I'm happy that I've been raised as a strong, independent woman.

I want to act in films and use all my financial resources to fund independent music.
