Giving priority to her education, she re-located to the United States to study economics and business management in Ohio. During the summer break she joined the Stanford Acting School, and made up her mind that she wanted to become an actress, quit her studies, returned to India and joined the Namit Kapoor Acting Academy.

Her mom helped her pave the way to an acting career and introduced her to several producers and film-makers. She bagged a role in 'Life Mein Kabhie Kabhie' after being introduced to Vikram Bhatt.
