Anything that brightens my skin tone.
Today I’m craving
Pani puri with chilled jal jeera.

Netflix. I watch Friends or Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Advice I would give my 18-year-old self
Don’t heed the trolls. Once you’re in the public eye, you will be criticised for your, body, face, and weight. But the people who love you will always love you.
My favourite subject in school
Maths.
I would swipe right on
Our cat!
My secret skill is
That I can sleep anywhere, anytime.
A superpower I wish I had
To be able to fly. I’d fly about at night to relax.
My favourite Sunday memory
Relaxing with my family, the cat and home-cooked food.
My most star-struck moment
Meeting Salman Khan on the sets of Bigg Boss 16. I was so nervous that I forgot to take my sunglasses off!
My favourite bad habit
Junk food.
The best thing about fame
Recognition. It’s such a rush!
The worst thing about fame
Trolls. Sometimes it’s hard to take the high road.
