The ‘Ishq Mein Marjawan 2’ fame actress further shared details about her character, saying Arshi is a girl from today's generation and will be relatable as she is ambitious.
“Arshi has a varied range of layers to her characters, and with every given situation, the audience will get an opportunity to witness the different emotions of Arshi. Arshi and I are similar in real life, we are both ambitious and passionate about dance. I do relate to Arshi at a certain level, and this is the beauty of an actor, you get a chance to portray even those qualities and emotions that you do not possess in real life,” she added.
