She has always been vocal about her journey and emotions. During the trailer launch of her show Showtime, the actress revealed that she was told that she could not become a Bollywood actress. While talking about being insulted in Bollywood, she said, “I have heard insulting lines. I have been told that I would never make it to the industry and that I wouldn’t be able to act. Someone told me, ‘You don’t have it what it takes to become a Bollywood actor.'”
“This may be a fair industry, but I truly believe it is a very difficult industry. Along with hard work, it comes with a lot of challenges. It throws you. There is a struggle that you cannot deny, there are no shortcuts that you can take. Work begets work. When you are focused on your job, sooner or later you will land that next (big) role. That’s my mantra”
She also talked about the times when she thought she would get the role, but didn’t. She said, “There have been times when I have auditioned for a part, walking out thinking that I have done a great job... and eventually, I haven't landed the part.”
