Edited excerpts from the interview:

What was the preparation for Steal like?

That’s a great question, but unfortunately, my answer is- Not much preparation . Everything was there in the script for us. The story is not about the work that they do, it’s about the heist they get caught up in. I listen to crime podcasts all the time, so it seems I have been preparing all my life.

How much were you able to relate to the character that you have played?

There is a part in me that relates to the character that I’m playing- Zara. There is a stage in everybody’s life when you do not know what you are supposed to be doing, where you are supposed to be going. And you feel stuck, demotivated, and underappreciated. This is a universal experience. I really enjoyed leaning into that rock-bottom. I found that quite liberating.

Do you follow Indian cinema and if yes, who’s the actor that you like?

That’s tough but Shah Rukh Khan is the GOAT. I love Deepika Padukone. She is amazing. I loved watching RRR. I would love to be a part of a Bollywood movie. I would love to be a part of the song and dance. It’s such a spectacle. It is unlike anything we will ever see on a western film set.

 What do you have to say to all those people who are wanting to become actors? There are times when they feel unappreciated… how to deal with it?

If this is something you want to do, you must go for it. But you should also know there are a lot of rejections and heartbreaks. It’s tough and you need to have a tough skin to be a part of the film industry, because there are a lot of things that you could take personally. You have to be in love with it, because if you’re not, it will probably break you.
