How did you land you latest show Meet?
When I auditioned for Meet, I felt I didn’t suit the character. So I was surprised when I got a call after two months. I had to look like a tomboy and speak Haryanvi, while I have a sweet, fine voice. The makers told me they wanted cuteness in the girl though she is a tomboy. Later, I was told that they want my hair to be really short and I was shocked because I don’t like short hair and felt it wouldn’t suit me. I have never had hair below shoulder length, so we did a look test for an entire month. I tried wigs, with loose denims and a loose shirt. Finally the makers decided on the tight denims with a loose shirt look.
