Every conversation with you, even though you were thousands of miles away from me, felt like home. This journey wasn't easy, but we chose each other every single day."
The actress has worked across various mediums, including television, films, and web series. She starred in the 2022 Marathi-language love drama titled Ved, opposite Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza.
