'Frozen was supposed to be shot in Goa'

What made you take up acting?

Acting happened by chance. I was doing a Bachelors degree in Home Science, and hence wanted to pursue Psychology and take up counseling or something in that field. But after doing the music video, Channave ghar aaja ve, sung by Kunal Gaanjawala, I wanted to shift to acting. They were looking for a girl-next-door kind of girl, and I passed the auditions immediately. It was a story-based video and after its release, I decided that I wanted to be in this field.

How did you get this role in Frozen?

Shivaji Chandrabhushan had directed the Channave music video. So he knew me. He had told me that he was writing a script for his first feature film, a thriller about a brother and sister. Since he liked my work in Channave, he thought I was fit for the sister's role.

Frozen was supposed to be shot in Goa. But Shivaji went to Ladhak and said he wanted to shoot the film there, at those freezing temperatures. We actually stood frozen when we heard this!
 
Before the shooting started, I started preparing myself. I read a lot of books and watched world cinema. I observed acting and tried to learn.
