What led you to switch from being a fashion designer to pursuing a career as an actor?

I honestly couldn't tell you how these years flew by and how life led me to where I am now. But I believe I seized the opportunity when fate presented it to me. It was my first Tamil film, 'Sivappu Manjal Pachai, directed by Sasi, that convinced me I could pursue a career as an actor.

When might we see you venturing into Malayalam cinema, considering your experience in Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Hindi, and Kannada films?

I've manifested this and put it out into the universe. Working alongside Lijomol Jose in 'Sivappu Manjal Pachai' made me appreciate the natural talent of Malayalee actors. Watching 'Aavesham' further fueled my desire to explore opportunities in Malayalam cinema.

What was your experience like working on Neeraj Pandey's 'The Freelancer as Aliya Khan? Your performance in that role really stood out.
