The actor and VJ talks about love, feminism and reveals her most irrational fear

A song whose lyrics you always misheard...?

It was actually a whole song. Ariana Grande’s The Way. My friends and I thought it was in another language altogether!

What’s your biggest fashion faux pas?

I tied a big bow using a thin scarf around my skirt once and it ended up looking like a tail!

Define feminism.

Wanting freedom to live without being made to feel inferior.

Not focusing on my studies and being easily distracted in school, though I was the one distracting others!

That I fake my accent.

Tell us one thing that you and your boyfriend, actor Karan Kundra, can never agree upon?

Three things nobody knows about you...?

I eat a lot, like more than Karan! I am very sensitive, I have a temper but cool down as quickly. And believe it or not, I’m shy!

What’s your most irrational fear?

Rats. Even the word makes me cringe!

When you are home alone, what you are most likely to be caught doing?

Watching Netflix, eating chips, drinking cola or checking my Insta.

#extra for myself and #zen for my alter ego.

One thing you’ve learnt about relationships from MTV Love School is....?

That screaming and shouting may be entertaining for an audience, but it gets you nowhere in a relationship.
