It was not easy to juggle in a new and upcoming fashion industry in open-minded Kolkata, along with studies and competitive exams. The pressure made my entire teenage years a journey of hard work and toil. I also suffered from severe acne and very severe endometriosis and had to be hospitalized almost every month during menstruation due to severe dysmenorrhea and blood loss. It happened. An incredibly intense life for a kid who had so many dreams and aspirations. While others would enjoy the weekend, I would be in Kolkata offering shoots and ramp shows and working for very little money,” she wrote .
She also spoke about how she was criticized for being “too white”.
