Speaking about what guides her film selections, Singh said, “I have realised that the audience connects with honesty. I want to be part of stories that stay with people and make me grow as an actor.”

On the subject of fame, she added, “Stardom is beautiful, but for me, the work matters the most. If people love my films and appreciate my performances, that is the biggest reward.”

Singh also spoke about her desire to take on varied roles rather than repeat a single image. “I don’t want to be put in a box. Every film should teach me something new and help me discover different shades of myself as an actor,” she said.
