​'I don't believe in a conventional life'

During the interaction, host MG Sreekumar asked Abhaya's reactions to criticisms she has faced for her modeling stint and this was her reaction.

"I am not a conventional person. I love to express the way I am. I don't fake. So, this is my dressing style and I like it. I am a musician who adores Lady Gaga and Beyonce, I get inspired by their styles too. People will keep criticizing you, earlier society was against Salwars, now it is considered as the symbol of culture, attitude will change over time," she shared.
