The actress recently is busy with the promotions of her upcoming film, which will release on an OTT platform soon. In a latest interview, she revealed that while people were paying extra attention to their health and especially, their immunity amid the COVID-19 pandemic, she was battling health issues since last year. The actress shared that a severe bout of dengue, as well as a neck injury, had caused her immunity to dip drastically. She admitted that in a bid to appear in a certain way, she started cutting down on eating and working out rigorously, which caused severe strain on her health.

Now, she confessed that she has realised the importance of good health and gives enough time to her mind as well as physical well-being. She added that while it was essential for actors to look a certain way, it was their work that was most important.
