I feel I am pretty successful today because I have the luxury to say no... The undying love for this profession keeps me going. I love the field of acting and cinema," she said.

Talking about offers she is disinterested in, the actress asserted that she is more than happy to let go of them, and would rather explore different interests and hobbies during that time. "I would rather have a lot of free time, where I can travel, do gardening, trekking, write a book, binge watch, spend time with family... Do things that interest me rather than do mediocre projects," she added.

Talking about her upcoming project Heeramandi, the show, which is mounted on lavish scale, stars an ensemble of actresses like Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sharmin Segal, Sanjeeda Sheikh, among others.
