Before proceed further don't forget to checkout her work if you haven't read it yet!
Let's begin the interview.
~~
Q1: Tell us something about yourself ?
A: So here in watty,I am known as the writer of 'Chaos', I am basically from India and currently residing in Luxembourg.Juggling roles of a mother, homemaker and a designer.That's exactly what society knows about me,though I would describe myself as an incomprehensible person, who has a thousand of shelves inside her.
I am a an omvivert ,with a reserved heart but outgoing spirit.
I am restless and reckless, get bored In a jiffy, my interest shifts in a lightening fast speed. I have layers and layers of conflicting traits,I am confident yet vulnerable, composed yet crazy, super approachable yet impossible to decipher ( as even I fail to understand my own she self)and I have an insatiable apetite for adventure. ( khud pe book likh sakti hoon, need to stop here I guess 🤐)
Q2: Meaning of ur name? ur nick name ?
A:Let my name be a secret but meaning jaroor bataungi, it means the modulation of voice in music. 🥰
Q3: If u have a choice to change ur own name what it would be nd why?
A: I would stick to the current one, I love my name,Infact I love everything obout myself. ( remember Geet from Jab we met , just like her "Main bhi apni Favorite hoon").
Q4: Back in school and college, what kind of person were you?
A: Back in school days, I was pretty popular, you know the kinds whom juniors look up to and seniors hate 😉, never been a super bright student yet managed to be in the teacher's good book.
College days were crazy,I was a rebel and bewilderment was my middle name, I was just so confused and curious ,mujhe sab kuch karna tha yet sab se bore ho jaati thi ( i guess i am still the same)I have studied English literatures and in the first year itself, I suddenly started taking interest in Fine art so got enrolled in an art college for a degree course simultaneously and in the final year, I realized that fashion is my calling.
At that time I used to feel as if one life is not enough to achieve everything.
So after graduating in English literature and Fine arts, I joined a fashion school and had a blast there. College life was quite a roller coaster ride for me.
Q5: What personality trait do you wish you had ?
A: Patience may be.
Q6: How do you deal with stress and pressure?
A: I always try to remember that,we can't have control over the things happening around us but we can have a grip on ourselves, we can decide how we feel about certain things. I am a fitness enthusiast,If nothing else works, I sweat my stress out, I keep hustling till I am sore enough to forget about all the stress and pressure around me.
Q7: When did you first realize you wanted to write fanfics?
A: First of all, let me spill the beans here, not a single person among my friends and family knows that I write. Let me start from the beginning,I never had any favorite actor or actress, I have never been starstruck in my wholelife,When I saw biggboss 13( the only season I have followed throughly) ,I was honestly just awestruck by Sidharth ( not by the actor Sidharth but by the person he was),I found him mysteriously interesting and The Sidnaaz bond was nothing less than a fairy tale and after Sidharth's death ,I felt a void inside me,I just know that l will never adore anyone like I adore him,so one fine afternoon,I thought of creating a parallel world, a make believe scenario where he was still alive and decided to pen down a story for just myself, I, honestly was not expecting even 1 read, I mean readers were not there in my mind only. It was started as an escape from reality but soon got showered with love from readers.
Q8: Have you ever thought that your hardwork didn't get that much appreciation as you deserve and you thought to give up writing?
A: Not at all, the love I get is overwhelming and as of now I have never thought of giving up writing as this is my way of remembering Sidharth Shukla.
Q9: Is there any author Or Book who inspires you a lot?
A: Back in college,I was greatly inspired by Robert Camus, the way he portrayed absurdity of human mind in his books are commendable.
If we are talking about wattpad, than I won't say inspire but I truly adore Sanu and Yallsuckas, there are other amazing writers too but I haven't read much.I am truly looking forward to read some books by Rabiya, Poohbear, SwatiWritesSid,Vstarlove, Halcondays, Aradhya Arora, Prernaah, Munson ,word-addictz, Arch, Anonymous 1701 sonarana,and the list goes on.
Q10: What do you enjoy most about writing ?
A: My book is like a parallel universe for me, I mean I live every part of it, so undoubtedly the part I love the most about writing is the feeling that Sidharth is still here, in flesh and blood .
Q11: Share one of your weirdest experience on wattpad ?
A: Thankfully I haven't come across any weird stuffs yet , on the contrary I met some amazing souls here, I found IshitaM here,who is a great friend. I met SidNaazIsEmotion, who is there with me since the very beginning,I met my other babies,Cute Saku, withLoveAnu , Piyaa, Pallavi,Indu ,roza, tabassum .... and some very supportive readers crazilyamzing,Megha, udushaa Aishwarya, Iram,Sidnaazssk, tasmeet,zeba,sunita goyal, Pallavi,k_patel,Sampa,jaan_e_ suhail,palak ,pooja, twilight beauty, umama,ritisha,saru,shruti, prachi,anindita, vandana,reader110681,Soha,Seema,Purbali . I might be missing some, but I feel blessed to have each one of them.
Q12:Have you ever face"writer's block" ? How you overcome from that?
A: yes. I am a very fidgety and impatient person, I get bored very easily, so there are innumerable books and movies, I have left midway,so while writing I try to make sure that every chapter should have something to look forward to or to be anxious about ( warna mere jaise log will get bored) and "writer's block" for me is when I fail to get that 'spice' factor.
I overcome it by just doing brainstorming, I try to think from a readers perspective, like what would move me or stir me if I was a reader.
Q13: What would be a good theme song for your life?
A: I think the " Love you Zindegi " song from the the movie " Dear Zindegi " would be apt. Especially the line "jo dil se lage use keh do hi, hi, hi..
jo dil na lage use keh do bye, bye, bye..." had been my life's mantra.
Q14:How would you solve problems if you were from Mars?
A: In Earth too I am all tangled in my own issues,wahan bhi wahi hota.... wait .... forget about Mars problems, but agar Mars se hoti toh yahan ke liye Alien hoti, wow, now that's something interesting😛.
Q15: How was your over all experience as an author?
A: Writing is not even a hobby for me, As I have already said, I started writing only to fill the void of Sidharth's absence but now I am finding it addictive, it gives me a different perspective.I am loving every aspect of being an author and it got me connected to some amazing souls. I am loving it ❤️.
