I got a lot of ‘So you must be a good dancer?’ and I used to be like ‘Ya, I can sing, dance and act, I am a triple threat!’ So, you have to stop people in tracks and say ‘I am not just one thing’... It took a lot of work, I am so glad. I hope beyond what we are seeing, I want to see Indian actors and movies become mainstream global entertainers,”  she said. 

The In My City hit maker went on to add that after the Hollywood ventures like Quantico and Baywatch, she managed to grab the attention of the global audience.
