Career

4th year was relaxing for me, but the 5th year had some complications with finishing my thesis, internship, etc. So every week I used to shoot all my content in a day and then my job as easy as it was just about putting it up which I could do from anywhere and was quite quick! I’m someone who is a total procrastinator and I work only when I know it would be a task to pull off the job if I let it go beyond this. That’s how I challenge myself and that’s also when I give my best. It helps in putting the right kind of pressure on me and I deliver far better that way, always making sure I complete the task at hand.”
Later, she started a blog site ‘The Styledge’ which got immense popularity. She has posted blogs related to fashion and lifestyle on her channel.
