I feel good when my films get all the love, respect, and appreciation. That is my driving force to do better work in future.

'Son Chiriya' is a special film with lovely co-stars and a sorted out director.

As human beings, we need to evolve with time, and if you fail to do that, your existence will suffer.

Cinema has the power to change the society. Through my films, the kind of characters I have played and will play, I am trying to do my bit in changing the patriarchal mindset.

I feel, in our culture, the girl with any sort of power is called 'difficult' or various words that are demeaning just because she has a voice, has confidence, and stands for her rights. It is sad, but it is the truth of our country.

Everywhere in the society, even my extended family, when they got to know that I am going to be an actor, they were very worried because there is a lot of negativity attached to my craft or being a heroine.
