The actress reflected on her transition from engineering to acting while speaking on a podcast, emphasizing that the film industry demands far greater emotional and physical resilience than many realize.

“Acting is a crazy kind of work. It’s a mad person’s work,” she said, noting the unpredictable hours, intense emotional involvement, and mental endurance required in her current profession.

Comparing it to her former career, she said: “I have been an engineer and I have been an actor. No offence to my colleagues in the engineering world, but I dare say that being an actor is much more tasking.”
