During a conversation with Filmigyan, the actress revealed a shocking incident from the early days of her career. She opened up about an incident when she was changing in her van, and the South director came into the room without knocking. Isn't that shocking?

"Very early in my career, I was doing a South film. The director walked into my van. He didn't knock, and I was changing. He just opened the door and entered. This was a girl who had just done her first film. People usually tell you to be very sweet and not rub people the wrong way. They are like, 'otherwise, you won't get films.' I have been told all that," said the actress.

She continued, "As soon as he entered, I wasn't even thinking. It was just a reaction, and I yelled. I absolutely lost my temper. I was 22. Once he left, people told me that 'I shouldn't have yelled.' But there have to be manners. Just because I am new, you cannot just enter without knocking. You cannot do that to me. And I realized that is something I carried with me. I would come across as an angry person to people. But I had to do certain things to protect myself."
