You’ve rarely spoken about your family. Tell us about your childhood and growing-up years.
I spent my early years banished to two Christian schools, including Kodaikanal International — a boarding school perched in the misty hills above Coimbatore. There, I was raised by blind nuns who taught me critical life skills like how to milk a cow and weave baskets. They couldn’t see my mischief, but somehow, they always sensed it. The discipline was strict, and the weather was unforgiving, but I learnt that the lord’s kindness is infinite.
Influencers are under the scrutiny all the time. Your take?
I wouldn’t know—I’m not really in that world. I’m very busy between red carpets and after-parties while these people are discussing in the comment section.
What are some key factors to becoming successful and viral in showbiz?
First, get yourself a gaggle of famous star friends. More the merrier. Then, you must attend every party you weren’t invited to. No exceptions. Then, survive on three hours of sleep, a prayer, and glam. The rest is genetics and destiny.
Does fame and showbiz ever get overwhelming? How do you balance work and life?
I used to be famous for not working — and somehow, that spiraled into a full-time job. Now I have red carpets to walk, after-parties to bless, brunches to accidentally headline… it never ends. Every DM has become a deliverable! I don’t balance work and life — I blur them until even I have no idea if I’m being paid or just politely tolerated. Some nights they hand me a check. Other nights I leave with nothing but a goodie bag and confusion.
What are the current projects and brand collaborations you’re working on?
I’m working on launching my own line of luxury boob tape. Because sometimes gravity needs a little help — but it should still feel expensive.
We read about your struggle with weight loss. Did you ever do Ozempic? What’s your take on Bollywood’s obsession with it?
I would never take Ozempic. I believe in the traditional methods: starvation and resentment.
Recently, you were embroiled in a controversy. How do you handle negativity and criticism during low phases?
I stand by everything I say. Even the typos. I was made to apologize for having an opinion, but I will double down: I still believe there are only two genders.
Who’s your 4 AM bestie — your go-to person for advice?
At 4 AM in the club, we’re all besties. But for real advice, I call Boney Uncle. He always knows what to do.
What’s one piece of advice you’d give budding content creators?
Be yourself, always. Keep pushing the limits. Don’t stop!
Your phone covers are as famous as you. What’s next on your mind to create the next virality factor?
I don’t chase virality. I simply exist.
