Disha shared, "I remember I could never imagine being an actor because that's something I did not do when I was young. I was more into studies and I wanted to be a pilot but somehow I think destiny favoured me. I won some competition in Mumbai and I started coming to Mumbai, I was studying B. Tech at that time, I started visiting the city more often and liked the feeling of being independent. I started with a few TV commercials and quickly realised that I couldn't live in Noida and work in Mumbai".

Speaking about her experiance of working in the industry, Disha Patani shared, "When I came here I started loving the camera, when I used to be in front of a camera, I used to forget myself and be whatever they used to ask me to do. I started liking this change of my character."
