Pragya Jaiswal gets in a heart-heart conversation with Women Fitness India on our March Edit.

Pragya you started your journey in 2014, with the south film industry, today after almost a decade, how do describe your journey as? 

I moved to Mumbai, with a dream to act in the movies, it began with my debut in the south film the industry with "Kanche", and I think that was one of the best decisions ever, people still refer to me as Sita Devi, and that is something I would always be grateful for, because firsts are always special. The film also received many awards and it will be always close to my heart. And I wish to go only upwards from here.

You have expanded your work in Bollywood and Hindi film industry as well, tell us how your experience when working in Bollywood was?

I don't think I can say that I have expanded my work in Bollywood as yet. But I am super grateful that my first project in Hindi film industry was with Salman sir, biggest superstar of Bollywood and I can't just wait to work more in Bollywood.
