"I came here at the start of the year and have been away from home for more than seven months. It got really difficult after a point of time. My tickets were cancelled so many times that I have lost count. I had to change apartments a few times. Staying away from my family at such an hour has been extremely difficult. However, I am blessed to have had friends who were family to me and they kept on giving strength," Soundarya said.

"Despite the hardships, the months I spent alone was a great learning curve. It gave me the chance to step out of my comfort zone," says the Ranchi Diaries (2017) actor. "I have emerged as a stronger and more compassionate person. I also auditioned for an international film," she said.
