“I remember that 2016-2017 was a period of realization for me,” she told the host. “I missed my family and friends. I hadn’t seen my mother and friends for a long time. I felt that I wasn’t doing things that made me happy.”
“I did films back-to-back and thought there was just too much happening, and I needed to stop. I felt the need to pause to balance my mind and body. And that’s when I took the step.”

She also revealed that initially the said break was supposed to end in March 2020, but got delayed due to the covid pandemic. “In March 2020, I had joined a 10-day meditation retreat, and when that ended, and I came out, I was shocked to see that life had come to a standstill,” said the ‘Rockstar’ actor.
“I had a ticket to come back to Mumbai in April 2020, but look at the irony, I was all set to take over the world, but the world had shut down.”
