Tell us something about your journey so far.
I was born and brought up in Dubai and come from an extremely academic and business family background having no connection to the film industry. I was launched as a model in the fashion industry by fashion-guru Prasad Bidapaa who has earlier launched my seniors likes Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma, Nicole Faria, etc. Then I shifted to Mumbai with 'starry eyes' & even launched a digital marketing company as my backup source for income.
