Even though she is South Indian, she said she is still learning the regional languages. The actress explained that she never felt like an outsider while working there.“Essentially, I am south Indian, but I don’t speak the languages and I am right now learning them. So for me as a fresher, as a newcomer, I felt like it was really open. It was so easy to work with them,” she said“There were no barriers. There was no differentiation or anything along those lines. I had the talent, I did the auditions and I got the work. So it’s been pretty smooth,” she added.

She explained that she was told to reduce her hips. She said it was unrealistic because it was part of her bone structure. The actress added that while weight can change, bone structure cannot. “Because I am on the curvier side and I was told to make my hips lesser,” she said.
