During a conversation with ANI, Kaur opened up about her early days in theatre, her breakthrough roles, and what drives her passion for acting.

Kaur, who arrived in Mumbai in 2004 with dreams of making it big, initially found herself drawn to modelling and ad films. “I thought I would make a lot of money from modelling and get some experience in front of the camera,” she said.

However, it didn’t take long before she realised that acting required much more than just reading lines.

“I started with music videos, then moved on to ads. But soon enough, I understood that acting is a completely different ball game. Playing a character, feeling it, and embodying it-that's what I wanted to learn,” Kaur said.

Her exposure to theatre came when she began attending plays around Mumbai, which led her to pursue a more structured path in acting.

Kaur’s first big break in theatre came with Thespo, a youth theatre forum, where she won the Best Actress award. She went on to perform in numerous plays at renowned venues like Prithvi Theatre, NCPA Experimental, and more.
