It has been very fruitful. My series Ratri Ke Yatri 2 released sometime back and I received a lot of appreciation. I have finished shooting for a short film, another web show and I am currently doing a new show. Health has been great too; I could not be more grateful.

What is your career goal now?

I just want to keep doing things that make me happy. Dance will always be my first love and I want more opportunities that will help me refine my craft.

What are your regrets?

I have no regrets at all. God has been very kind. I have had a wonderful 20 years in the industry and looking forward to 20 more years.

Being a fitness freak, how much effort do you put in on a day-to-day basis to stay in shape?

For me, fitness comes first. It is a part of my lifestyle. I am happiest when I’m active. Gym or outdoors, I love keeping fit.

What’s your mantra for mental happiness?

I treat myself with kindness. Taking care of my physical health improves my mental health. I like to surround myself with good people and travel often.

Any tips to handle trolls?

Trolls are just looking for attention. I pay no heed to them. They don’t bother me at all. In fact, I find them funny. I laugh over some of the comments.

How frequently do you and Parag (husband) go for a vacation?

We travel together at least two-three times a year. All work and no play makes us dull.

Any recent series that you liked?

I recently watched a quirky series titled Shameless and really enjoyed it.

If you have to rewrite your story, what would you like to change and why?

There is absolutely nothing I would like to change in my story. I am the hero of my story.
