I am still taken aback when people refer to me as a style icon because I never really cared about what I wore. I was a tom boy as a child and never really cared about how I looked. I am still more of a tomboy than a style icon. I keep my style very easy-going and laidback. My inner style plays well with the monochromes.”

I thought it would be a fun day trip. We’d chit chat on the drive. Interestingly, I had to shoot Bulbulay (her hugely popular sitcom) the next day. And we have never cancelled a shoot ever before. But, somehow, my team and I figured out a way for me to take time out. Everything fell into place a little too smoothly. We hit an overtaking truck on the highway just before Hyderabad and had two collisions due to being bumped into by another truck from the back.
