Talking about what drew her to ‘Heart of Stone’, and the role of Keya Dhawan, she said, "This was a super huge opportunity for me to be a part of a film like this, and to break through to the global market. I’ve been working in the Indian film industry for ten years now, but this is my first English language film, and that’s always something that I wanted to tick off my box. But I was waiting for the right opportunity and I also wanted it to be true to who I am and where I come from. I found that in HEART OF STONE and in the character of Keya, because she’s from India and she’s pushed against these extreme circumstances. She has to really prove herself and she’s fighting for something, as everyone is in the film, and she has her own motive."
