Going crazy between prepping for my next few releases.

Learning to ride the motorcycle for Dhak Dhak. It’s now become a passion, and I genuinely want to plan a bike trip this year.

They’re part of the learning curve.

Baithi Hai, by Amit Trivedi; everything AR Rahman; and Andrew Huberman’s podcast Huberman Lab.

My brother, my manager and my mother. Had my dog, Bijlee owned a phone, I’d definitely add her too.

Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self

Life is great. All you have to do is keep trying without giving up.

A superpower I wish I had

Being able to read multiple scripts in a day.

My favourite Sunday memory while growing up

Family lunches. My father cooks the best food.

My most star-struck moment so far

Working with Kamal Haasan and meeting Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan.

A trait I despise in people

Lying. Honesty truly is the best policy with me.

I won’t leave the house without…

My phone, water bottle and my headphones.

The best thing about fame

The ability to create and impact lives in some way

The worst thing about fame

It can go to your head if you’re not grounded. I’m grateful for my support system.
