Your style sense is classy yet effortless. What is your biggest fashion style inspiration?
Thanks I am glad you feel that way but I go by my mood and follow my instincts . So it will be tough to say who in particular inspires me . I do love some characters from a few of my favourite movies or women in real life whose style I would definitely wish to steal .. I love priyanka Chopra for how confident and classy she is with her style , then Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine & many more amazing women that inspire me in general not just for their style ….
When did you decide that you want to become an actor, tell us about your journey.
I was in school and one random day I got a message on Facebook and randomly I came to Mumbai to audition and rest is history . I have been acting since , that one message changed my life and gave me a direction , I was barely 17 when I started acting and ever since I do not regret replying to that message which made it very clear that I want to be an actor for the rest of my life and I enjoyed every bit of it .
What is your idea of an ideal date ? What filters do a guy need to pass through in order to be the lucky one ?
Hahaha …. Ideal date would be with someone who is a good listener and I need to have a great interest in the guy then doesn’t matter where he would take me or what we end up doing. But yes in order to be that lucky one , one must be well mannered & polite .Tell us about your business journey.
I always loved hair extensions and did realize it is extremely hard to find good hair extensions that are affordable , also no body was doing anything for hair thinning at that point , I saw a gap in the market and took advantage of the same and started an E-Commerce business . I have my own website and app . I am the sole proprietor of NishHair Extensions & it is a D2C business where a customer can get anything from Clip-In Bangs to Hair Toppers . Hair thinning Coverage or length or volume , you name it and I’ve got it .
What’s next in the bucket list ?
I definitely want to act in movies directed by some of my favourite directors , I want to do characters that are amongst us that we see every day , with black , white & grey shades .
I do want to take my business to new heights , grow as a person , as an actor & as a business woman .
