It was the first year of my college and I was just 16-years-old. During my summer holidays, my mother (Sushma Seth — who played the character of Dadi in Hum Log) informed me about this role which the production house was looking out for. Although I had not taken any formal training in acting, I was actively involved in my mother’s theatre group. I think that helped me get the role.
