She then pursued theatre and learnt under eminent teachers like Neeraj Qabi, Satyadev Dubey Sir, Makrand Deshpande to name a few and at institutions like Adishakti. She was picked up by Pradeep Sarkar, after she did a Stayfree commercial with him, for the famous Bharat Nirman campaign and he introduced her to the world of commercials and the quest began.As R.M Drake said, 'in the end, she became the more than what she expected, she became the journey and like all journeys, she did not end, she just simply changed directions and kept going.' She likes to believe, it's the journey that matters the most and she is becoming one.
