So being part of 'Khatron Ke Khiladi 13' was an incredibly brave decision, and the credit for it goes to my brother Sarnab."

The actress, who was also seen in 'Rakshabandhan... Rasal Apne Bhai Ki Dhal', 'Divya Drishti', 'Excuse Me Maadam', among others, further shared, "My brother and mother had a huge debate about how long I'd last in the show. My brother was super confident that I'd have the guts to win over my phobia when facing them would be the only choice. I hope to inspire my fans by showcasing my journey of being bigger than my terrors and coming out stronger on the other side."
