I was in college then, and I come from a family of academicians, so my parents told me to focus on my studies. But I wanted to do it because I was getting paid for it. I earned Rs 7,000 from that song, and I wanted to see myself on TV. But my father was completely against it. So first, I took my mum into confidence and then we both convinced my father. That song turned out to be such a hit—it was like a fairy tale for me. It changed my life completely,” she said.
