On Chocolate Day today, the actor reflects on how the indulgent sweet has been a constant in her life, woven into memories both personal and shared.

"Chocolates have always been the meetha before any shubh kaam in my life," says the actor known for films such as Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota (2018) and Angrezi Medium (2020). She adds, "My mother would give me a piece of chocolate before every school test, and that habit stayed with me."
