She replied, “When I left home in Himachal, I was 12-13 years old. I studied in a hostel in Chandigarh. Later I came to Delhi and stayed for a couple of years. In 2004, I did a modeling assignment. came to Mumbai and then I threw away the phone my agency gave me. When they called me back (Delhi) I tore up my ticket too. I told them I don’t want to go back.
The 36-year-old actress made her Bollywood debut with Anurag Basu’s Gangster, opposite Emraan Hashmi and Shiny Ahuja, and is one of the most popular actors in Bollywood.
