Digital is a fantastic platform to tell your stories.

You have to put in an effort in everything that you do, and you cannot just sit around expecting something to happen.

My grandfather was wary of me being a part of the industry for various reasons, ranging from the fact that we didn't know anybody; it was an unconventional career choice, and because he felt that I needed somebody to guide me.

'Girl in the City Chapter 2' will still continue to revolve around Meera Sehgal and her life, her friends, and her passion. The stark difference in 'Chapter 2' will be that all the characters have now grown up in the series - in terms of maturity if not so much age.

Dulquer Salmaan is fantastic! He is effortless.

Theatre and cinema have been major influences in my life.

To work in your first film, in your debut as a lead, to work with the finest artists of the country - who doesn't want to do that?

When it comes to dressing up, I am more like my character Meera from 'Girl In The City,' I like to experiment with my looks once in a while.

When you try something, it either works, or it does not.

I try not to take pressure because that it just stresses you out.

'Girl in the City' has been such a special project for everyone involved.

I believe, as an actor, I want to tell stories.

I don't really overthink my characters. The camera comes on, and I am on.

Yes, I do bring something of my own to the plate. But I strongly believe that a film is a director and writer's vision.

I get along with people quickly.

I've done over 100 auditions, but I was lucky to stumble onto the Internet as it was growing. Because in film, people are not looking at casting completely unknown faces as lead roles.

Whenever I am in front of the camera, my hair goes through a lot of harsh styling. But I ensure that my off-camera time is all about letting my hair down, taking it easy and, of course, letting my hair breathe!

I have always played the cheerful girl next door, especially on the Internet, and this film is a break from that. My character is more moody and bratty in 'Karwaan.'

Like a lot of people, I also grew up watching Bollywood films.

Even when I got ₹500 a month as pocket money, I would never spend all of it. It's the same now. I am just conscious of the fact that I wasn't born with a silver spoon.

I damp my hair, take 2-3 drops of serum, and apply it through the length of my hair - my hair becomes super smooth, letting me style it any way I want, and - it also gets the perfect, glossy finish.

The Internet space will only grow exponentially, and it will affect TV for sure. How much is something that only time will tell.

One routine that I swear by during monsoons is to religiously apply few drops of hair serum every time I wash my hair. It cuts through the frizz and makes hair quite smooth!

I am always interested in good performance, always tried to improve my skill as an actor.

I'm a hopeless romantic and a believer in handwritten letters.

I have grown up watching Marathi plays and craved to be a part of it.

If there is something that I want to do, I will definitely try to do it and not just let it go.

If a person wants to make it big, they can, and they will! The place that they come from doesn't matter, whether small town or big.

Who does not want to work in Bollywood?

I do not see myself doing daily TV soaps!

My grandparents came from a typical Marathi family, where they respect the value of rules and regulations.

The cutest part is that both my grandparents have tried to adapt to my dream. When I sat them down and showed them a film that I did - with an intimate scene in it - I was surprised that their reaction wasn't dramatic. My grandmother even came to me to ask, 'How do you do it?'

My nana was strict and didn't express a lot, so naturally, I was scared of him. I would even get the usual 'strict-father' scolding if I didn't study or stick to my curfew.

I knew I wanted to be an actor but didn't know how to go about it. That's why my ambition, initially, was not to play a lead role in a Bollywood film.

I wanted to act and do good work with good people. I wanted to be a part of good content. That was my only ambition. So I made the most of the opportunities that came to me.

I look at the Internet as an opportunity. I think you should do your stuff, and if you want to showcase it, it's a great platform. What people like and don't like is not in your control, so just have fun with it.

I am very greedy as an actor. I want to explore as much as possible.

I just wanted to be an actor. I was hoping for opportunities to unveil, and I wanted to make the most of whatever came my way.

'Karwaan' was meant for me.

I have never done television, essentially, so the Internet has made me and opened avenues for me.

I am a normal girl from a humble, middle class family.

It wasn't easy to leave my comfort zone and chase my dreams. However, it is important to believe in yourself.

It's exciting to know that you are loved so much. It is humbling.

I spent the most impressionable years of my life with my grandparents, and they meant a lot to me, which is why I wanted them to come around with my decision of acting.

The audience is different for TV and web, but the latter offers everything for everyone.

'The Cup' song did give a huge push, and after that, a lot of Internet happened. In the meantime, I was auditioning for many things, and 'Karwan' happened.

I love my work and the fact I am fortunate enough to have the opportunities available to explore.

Post my graduation, I really thought that acting was something I wanted to do. I simply took a chance and started auditioning, and I loved it.

It was intimidating to work with Irrfan Khan and Dulquer Salmaan, not because they made me feel intimidated, but more out of respect and awe; they are both extremely gifted artistes.

My grandfather is my biggest fashion critic. He takes a keen interest in the millennial fashion, most of which he disapproves of, but he is a very practical fashion critic.
