My debut, Chehre, 2021. I got to work with Amitabh Bachchan. It was the beginning of more high points.
Low point in life
In 2018, there was so much uncertainty and self-doubt, it felt overwhelming. That phase taught me to trust myself.

Shararat, from Dhurandhar; Haseen, by NDS, Rippy Grewal, and Talwiinder; Ma Tnsani (Yalla Habibi) by AYA and Vanco.
One thing I would never buy
Validation. It can’t come from external approval.

If I could travel back or forward in time...
