I have written 5 full length novels but I haven't published any of it outside Wattpad.

What are your future projects?

I am working on a duet novel. It's a fantasy fiction.

What is writing to you?

Everything, because it makes me so damn happy :D

Is being an author, your long time dream or a hidden passion you found out later?

A passion I found out later... I always wanted to be a teacher :P

What genre books you like to work on?

Fantasy or fiction or action/romance.

If we challenge you to write a book of another genre we suggest, then would you take it up?

No. Not really. Not unless it's something I want to write because if it's out of my comfort zone, then I will be very bad at it as I won't be able to put my 100% in it.

Writing is a reality that paints a beautiful fantasy. What do you think are the charms of writing fiction/non fictional books?

It's the part of deciphering in legible words, whatever fantasy that I often day dream about. It goes on in my head and it's up to me to put it in words that my readers can not only just understand but also love it. Sometimes, I am trying to convey something through these stories and if my message is delivered to my readers then it's a job well done. I also get a special thrill when my readers are unable to unlock the mystery or predict the twist until I reveal it :D

Who are your favorite authors in and out of wattpad?

I like Julie Garwood, Maisey Yates, Sarah Morgan and Lynne Graham outside Wattpad. In wattpad every single author whose books I've added in my favourite's list.

Name few of your close wattpad friends.

So many, I won't be able to stop. I have made a lot of friends here and they have been a constant source of support to me in this platform.

What is your favorite series you have recently watched or read?

I am watching a Chinese drama... does that count? In Books, It's the twisted series by Cora Reilly.

Who is your favorite actor/actress?

Mahesh Babu. It's only him.

Who is your favorite Villain you couldn't help but love?

Joker, Lord Voldermort, James Moriarty, Kancha Cheena, Garuda, O-Ren Ishii. I like villains who have their own swag but are also damn scary at the same time.

What are your hobbies other than writing and reading?

Playing Sudoku, listening to music, browsing through youtube and sleeping if it counts.... :P

What are your hidden talents?

Don't really have any.

Who is your first celebrity crush?

Aamir Khan.

What is the most embarrassing situation that you have ever been through?

I was late for a movie and in my hurry to go upstairs, I stepped on the descending escalator. The security guard held my arm and pulled me away before I ended up on the floor. But yes, my silly behaviour did attract attention and I felt like I ended up with egg on my face.

One craziest thing you have ever done?

Drive at a speed of 95kmph and it was only when the instructor asked me if I had any control, I realized I didn't. I just loved the thrill! However, I slowed down immediately.

There are many authors who just started their journey and many readers who want to write but have no courage to do so. Please give them a tip and a word of encouragement.

I know it's difficult to summon up the courage. I have been there and I am there every single time I start a new story. So many doubts, so many fears but it's all up to you to get over it. Share it with someone whom you trust, someone who will not make fun of your hard work... just share it with that person before posting it in Wattpad. Their words can build up your confidence and also help you rectify your mistakes. Also, you need to put your 100% in it. You must be really into writing something new and exciting. Be creative, use your own imagination. It might be a common theme, but it is up to you to make it unique from the rest. And be patient and don't get disappointed when you do not have many reads or comments. It takes time. My first story got recognition only after the 16th chapter!

Last but not the least, have you ever dreamt of writing your own comic?

No. Not a comic fan.
