While talking about this in an interview, Divyansha Kaushik said,
I was going to editorial shoots with my mom and there, people would tell her I should take a shot at acting. Had this suggestion come earlier, my life would be different. I was at a boarding school in Mussorie and had put on 20 kilos, so I thought I am not cut out to be an actor. At school I was always into debates, dramatics but never took acting that seriously. Compliments of me being pretty reduced when I put on weight and I went back to thinking make-up is the field I should be in. Mom had a farm house in Delhi, which had a spa and salon, so that was easy.”
