Do you remember the first moment when you felt you were famous?

“It was after Yeh Rishte Hai Pyaar Ke. It was a popular show and that too with Shaheer Sheikh. Before that also people used to watch but it was after this show that gave me a certain recognition and fan following. I am very grateful to Rajan Shahi for it.”

Do you remember the first fan moment?

“There is this girl named Udita who I won’t say is a big fan but a constant one. Whenever she watches any of my show, she texts me and even sends me small tokens of love. She is really good at writing and whatever she writes about me, it touches my heart. There is another lady, Rashvita, from Bangalore, she also writes really well and I really love it. It is a great feeling when you get love from the audience.”

Do you remember your first friend in the industry?

“Shraddha Jaiswal is a really good friend who was with me in Shashtri Sisters. Shaheer and I are really good friends. It is not as if we keep in touch regularly but whenever we meet, it is great.”
