Speaking to The Hans India, she said that the credit of her fame should go to her mother. "My mother identified my interest in classical dance and joined me in school. I am still learning techniques in the dance. I like 'Shiva Thandavam' in Kuchipudi. I am always inspired by the applause by the audience. I will work hard and bring good name to my parents and realise their dream," she said.
