I want to see how much I can push and reinvent myself on screen. I have a personal ambition to never fit into a mould as an artiste.”
The actress has mapped out her future, too. “I want to do be remembered as someone who constantly gave the audience something new and was not afraid to constantly try something new. I want to be remembered as someone who was unafraid to experiment, and presented myself in the most diverse avatars possible,” she said.
