 I did a lot of theatre and drama in school. I was a very creative child, I loved performing on stage. I loved dancing on stage and I think what made me want to be an actor was to play characters like Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham or Anjali in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Naina in Kal Ho Naa Ho. I was obsessed with these characters growing up.
