I always wanted to be in the entertainment industry. I am a total Bollywood buff.

What are the major projects that you have done?

The very first project I did was Bhoomi and then I did a movie called 3rd Eye. Along with that, I did a movie called Un Kadhal Irundhal, which was a Tamil film. I also did a TV show called Kasam for about five months. Apart from that I have done music videos. Most of them are in Punjabi.

Did you take any formal training in acting?

I have taken series of training sessions from Neeraj Kabi. I also did a workshop with The Jeff Goldberg Institute.

How did you get Splitsvilla?

Splitsvilla was offered to me when I came to Mumbai. They have been approaching me for a very long time. But I was not sure of what would it be like. I think I’m not really good at fighting. I never thought about getting into any sort of reality show because of this. Now the times have changed and I would love to take such risks.

How was the experience of working in Splitsvilla?

It was a mix of good and bad. Overall, it was a rollercoaster ride because I learnt a lot. I got to know what one needs to do to survive in a reality show. It was full of emotions, drama and fun.

Did you like shooting in Goa?

Shooting in Goa was good at the same time very exhausting. The 30-day shoot was the time well spent but not easy. I am used to getting my makeup and hair done by a professional. There was no one from my team to do all this over there. It was just like staying in a hostel. It was difficult but I love taking risks.

Would you like to be part of Bigg Boss? If yes, then why?

Yes, definitely. I have started to watch all reality shows now and as I have already done one, I would love to do Bigg Boss as everyone watches it. I see my Nani cooking and watching Bigg Boss. The audience of Bigg Boss is huge and I would definitely love to be a part of it.
