MORE ABOUT THE ACTRESS

According to Sunday World, the award-winning actress has qualifications in Information Technology. And, she never imagined that she would turn out to be on television. She was quoted as saying,

“My late sister pushed me into it [the entertainment industry]. We then did research on magazines because there was no Google then, and because I was tall and skinny [at the time], I got signed up as a model.”

She reportedly said that people from her agency had advised her to switch to acting and helped her find her way in the film industry.
