In an interview with Hindustan Times in 2018, the Love Sonia actor, who is also the owner of Kolhapuri Mavle, a wrestling team, said that she had been a kabbadi player and they had once lost a state-level match miserably.

They played very well in the first half and then the opponents used their strategies and weakness against them in the second half.
