Your journey spans both scripted content and digital sketches. What drew you to acting in the first place?
I think it was always an emotional connection for me. I’ve always been someone who feels things deeply, and acting became a way to express that in a meaningful way. The idea of stepping into different lives and telling stories that people can relate to really drew me in, it felt both exciting and personal at the same time.
From projects like Bakaiti, High Heels, and Crushed S3, how do you choose roles that resonate with you?
For me, it always comes down to how real the character feels. I look for parts that I can emotionally connect with or understand, even if they’re very different from me. If a script makes me feel something instantly, I know it’s something I want to be a part of.
You switch effortlessly between lighthearted and emotionally intense roles—how do you prepare for such range?
I think it’s more about understanding the emotional truth of the scene rather than the genre. Whether it’s something light or intense, I try to stay honest in the moment. I spend time understanding the character’s mindset and then just trust my instincts while performing.
Was there a role that challenged you in ways you didn’t expect?
Yes, Ayesha in High Heels definitely challenged me. There were so many layers to her- emotionally and mentally and it pushed me to go deeper than I had before. It made me more aware of how much detail goes into building a character.
You’ve become a familiar face in FilterCopy sketches—what makes that space creatively exciting for you?
It’s the energy and the spontaneity. The environment is very collaborative, and you get to experiment a lot within a short format. Also, the fact that these stories connect instantly with people makes it very fulfilling.
How different is performing for short-form digital content versus long-form storytelling?
The biggest difference is time. In short-form, you have very little time to establish a character and make an impact, so everything has to be more precise. Long-form gives you the space to grow with the character and explore more layers.
Do you approach your performances differently knowing the audience’s attention span online is shorter?
Not consciously. I still focus on being honest in the scene. But yes, there’s an awareness that every moment counts, so you can’t afford to lose the audience’s attention even for a second.
Your characters often feel very real and relatable. Do you draw inspiration from people around you?
All the time. I observe people a lot- the way they speak, react, or even stay silent. Sometimes I pick up little nuances from real life and subconsciously bring them into my performances.
What kind of messages or reactions from your audience have stayed with you the most?
The ones where people say they felt seen or related to a character I played. That’s the most special part of what we do, when someone connects with your work on a personal level.
How do you stay authentic in a space that constantly demands content?
I remind myself why I started. I don’t try to keep up with everything, I just focus on what feels genuine to me. It’s easy to get lost in the noise, but authenticity comes from staying grounded.
Your lifestyle content gives a glimpse into your real self—how do you decide what to share and what to keep private?
I share what feels comfortable and true to me at that moment. But I also believe some things are meant to stay personal. That balance is important to maintain your own peace.
Has social media ever made you feel pressure to maintain a certain image?
Of course, that pressure exists. But over time, I’ve learned that trying to fit into an image is exhausting. It’s much easier and healthier to just be yourself.
What does a typical “off-duty” day look like for you?
Very simple! Spending time with family, maybe watching something, or just doing nothing. I really value quiet, slow days because they help me recharge.
Looking back, how do you think you’ve evolved as a performer?
I think I’ve become more patient and more open. Earlier, I used to overthink a lot, but now I trust the process and myself more. I’m still learning, but I feel more confident in my choices.
Is there a genre or role you’re eager to explore next that we haven’t seen yet?
I’d love to explore something darker or more psychologically intense- something that really pushes me out of my comfort zone.
What has been your biggest learning so far in this industry?
That consistency matters more than anything. There are highs and lows, but showing up and doing your work honestly is what really stays.
How do you balance being an actor and a digital creator without burning out?
I try not to treat everything as content. Acting is my priority, and I approach social media more organically. Also, taking breaks when needed is something I’ve learned is very important.
What are your upcoming projects?
There are a few exciting things in the pipeline that I can’t talk about yet, but I’m really looking forward to sharing them soon.
Who or what inspires you creatively on difficult days?
Honestly, real life. Conversations, people, and even small everyday moments inspire me. And sometimes just taking a step back helps reset everything.
One role of yours that’s closest to your real personality?
I think bits of me exist in almost every character, but the more subtle, calmer roles are definitely closer to who I am in real life.
