I remember I was a teenager and I got my first press ad for Amul Ice cream. I earned Rs 1000 which was a huge deal for me. I had to give Rs 350 to my model coordinator and I don't remember what I did with the remaining Rs 750. I guess I might have gone shopping. Currently my finances are handled by my mother. I invest a part of my income and spend the rest in travelling and shopping.
My first car was a second hand white Santro. But in a few months it was stolen outside Cinevistaas studios. Later I bought a brand new Black Santro car for more than Rs 3 Lakhs. I have some good memories of that car. I remember I had gone for picnics near Lonavala and many other places. Currently I drive a Honda City and Hundayi I10.
It was a nice apartment at Yari road. I was attached to the house and even today whenever I visit that area, I go to that complex and meet my friends. Later, I bought a one bedroom kitchen flat for Rs 22 lakhs. I have another 2 BHK flat in Pune which is on rent.
I was 4 or 5 years old when we went to Kashmir. It was my first holiday and even today mummy tells me stories of that vacation. Now it's my dream to go there again to the snowy peaks and enjoy the winter. With friends, I have been to Lonavala numerous times.
My first claim to fame was Zee TV's youth show Hip Hip Hurray. My role was of a US returned girl named Noyonika with the nick name Noni. My role lasted upto 60 episodes and the show gave me name and fame. I remember I had gone to meet Ekta Kapoor for Kasuati Zindagi Kay and she complimented me. She said she loved my role in Hip Hip Hurray.
