Read what she had to say:

On Inspiration Behind the Viral Reel:

"I've seen a lot of reels around this concept, like trying different accents or voices, etc. So, I was on my way back home from a movie premiere with my husband. We took an on-the-go food break, and while waiting for food, I told my husband to shoot this reel in the car, and the rest is history. In just five days, I had 100M views on the reel. It still feels surreal."

On Her Reels Making Us Relive the Magic of Childhood:

"It's unbelievable. Till date, it has got 127M views, 11M likes, and 2.5M shares. I never dreamt of these numbers on my profile. I feel the voice industry is a little untouched, and people used to enjoy cartoons and cartoon characters in childhood. So, I think the voice challenge I took in the reel made them curious and relieved their childhood memories, and the reel got so much love."

"As I mentioned earlier, I was on my way back home from the movie premiere with my husband, and we took an on-the-go food break. While waiting for food, I told my husband to shoot this reel in the car. There were a few glitches in the reel. My hair was not proper, and my husband was in the flow, mistakenly saying 'bubble' from Mr. Singham it was 'bubbly' from Mr. Singham. But I thought, let's not think too much; let's put this reel out. I'm glad I did it. I got so much love. So, yeah, a very funny backstory to it, but it's worth 127M views."
