But there was a time when she felt low and went through a rough phase in her life.  

Talking to Pinkvilla in an exclusive interview, the actress opens on her weight gain. She says, “I hated myself so much that I did not care. I did not bother how I look. I was just focussing on my acting. I didn’t care. I just did not want to look in the mirror. I hated myself so much. So, it was a very negative feeling that I used to get. I remember trying costumes for my shoot the next day I just felt like whatever.”

She further says, "I didn’t bother about all those things. I didn’t want to look the best. I didn’t feel like looking the best. At the end I spoke to my audience they always spoke the way I acted. So, my audience made me feel that I was doing a good job at acting and it didn’t made me feel focus on anything else.”
