When did your love for drawing begin?
I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. Every day brings a new drawing, each one with its own unique story. My very first drawing was in school, and since then, art has been a constant in my life.
You were a finalist in the Rangrezz Season 10 art competition! How was that experience?
It was incredible! The on-the-spot topic was ISRO, and I drew an astronaut with the universe reflecting in his helmet. I wanted to convey how achieving one’s goal lets them see the entire universe within themselves. I made it to the top 12, won a medal, and my artwork was featured in their annual calendar.
And how did you get involved in theatre?
Two years ago, I took part in theatre workshops in Jalandhar and have performed in plays like Alice in Wonderland and Khamakhaan Ki Panchayat. I’m fascinated by characters, especially how actors bring them to life. Alia Bhatt’s portrayal in Raazi really inspired me with how naturally she embodied her role.
What other creative projects have you been involved in?
I’ve auditioned for ads and even a movie role. It’s exciting to explore these opportunities and see where my passion takes me.
Is your school supportive of your creative ventures?
Absolutely. My teachers are very encouraging, and my friends are proud of my achievements in theatre and art. I’m also passionate about Science and History—one feeds my curiosity, and the other connects me back to the world of art. Lately, I’ve even developed an interest in reading, especially mysteries like A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.
