I've done item songs, I've done music albums and music videos.
My first music video was like Ani from Laki and it was an international director and the international Desi as a designer and international dancers.
So it was a completely international team. So I was so excited to work with an international team. I learned so much from them, you know, like the perfectionist and them being so, being so time, you know, like on time and hardworking, and they don't waste time. They're so perfect in what they do. So I learned so much from working with them. It's just, it's always whenever you work you learn new things every day. You learn new things from where you work.
So I'm, I'm glad that I just learned things in life and I take it ahead, as in now, adding it to my passion.

What is your style?
This, this, this is my favorite question and this is gonna be my favorite answer as well. Yeah. When you compare fashion and you know, like stylish, I just love to be stylish because you know what fashion is most dictated in the world, in the whole universe. You know, it's like more dominated fashion in the name, you know, it's dominated, it is dictated in the whole universe.
For me, what I love about is being stylish. Stylish is an individual statement about a single individual person. You know, you can be stylish, you know, like by yourself, and that's an individual statement. You are giving, being stylish, you know, and you portray yourself how stylish you are, how, how you stylize yourself in a character. So that speaks a lot. You know, like you don't need to be a fashionable person, you know, where like people, the whole universe statement is like, you know, fashion, you know, it's dictated by the universe.
But stylish, being stylish is a person who talks about her clothes, the way she carries herself, a character. She enhances on being stylish, how stylish she is. So for me, being stylish is the best. Like, you know, that, that how you speak, being stylish speaks a lot. You don't need to emphasize what you're wearing, you know, and being stylish also makes you comfortable and you know, like being cool and you know, like a shake and you know, the skin has to breathe.
So being stylish is, for me, the best way to say it.
How do you keep in shape?
How do I keep myself in shape I work out a lot and I'm, a great, good dancer. I dance a lot. I've done a lot of shows around the world, so I love to dance sometimes and I, I, I love to swim and yeah, I love to maintain my diet and yeah, I do work out, I do work out, you know, a couple of days a week, then I give a couple of days for dancing. I give, like, I take guide food and good food, healthy food.
So that's, that's what makes me keep fit.

What advice would you give someone starting?
The advice, that I would want to give to the newcomers and the beginners in modeling or maybe in the Bollywood industry is, you know, first thing, first, believe in yourself. No matter what the circumstances, what the situation, you know, no matter what the outcome is, just believe in yourself. Be confident enough to believe in your talent. Nobody can be you that you should know.
You are a very different person from who you are. Nobody can match you for who you are. And you know, no matter how much life throws at you, but still never give up in your life. Keep trying till you succeed. No matter how the circumstances are. Be challenging in your life. Never give up because dreams do come. I have seen my dreams come true. Mumbai is a city where everybody's dreams come true.
So don't give up. Keep trying, keep trying, keep trying until you succeed and you will be successful in your life. Mark my words. This is me. I've experienced, I'm talking about my experience. So good luck with all the newcomers and you know, people who are into, you know, beginners and all. So have faith in yourself and your talent, inner talent.
