‘I have always been a hard-working person. Even when I was an air hostess, I used to make sure I am doing my work perfectly. Even today, I try to give my 100 percent to whatever I am doing. I think I was just destined to be here, and it was all God’s favour. Otherwise, I come from a very humble background. Both my parents are teachers. They have been immensely supportive of my career choices and never stopped me from doing what I love. Having said that, I don’t take stardom as permanent.’
