Since I never had stage fear, transitioning from a singer to an actor was quite smooth for me.”
Talking about what she learned from theater, she says, “But yes, I was fortunate to have amazing mentors and directors in my life who guided me. Since I started my career on stage, I learned a lot about how to stand confidently, how to carry myself, and how to deliver dialogues effectively. I stepped into theater right after singing, and from there, I moved to television. During my theater journey, I met incredible teachers who dedicated their time to shaping me into the actor I am today. I am truly grateful to all of them.”

Theater teaches you all of this. I believe theater molds you into a true actor, and I owe a lot to that experience.”
