Nandini Bhalla: I last spoke to you almost two years ago. And you told me then that what you really wanted to do was work hard and work more. How have things changed since then?
Alaya F: “I remember the last time we spoke was during the pandemic. And at that time, I only had one release out because there was a three year gap between my first and my second release, thanks to our dear pandemic. Even though I had started shooting for a lot of new projects, many didn’t launch. So during that phase, I was just shooting and waiting. And then six months later, I had three releases and it felt great. I’m glad that there are more things to do now and people can see me take up various kinds of roles.”
NB: Do you think that you have grown up in the last couple of years?
: “I believe the pandemic was such an odd circumstance, that it expedited our sense of maturity. I look at my interviews from the and I think I was talking like a child. But I definitely do notice a significant change in me post the pandemic.”
