Circle Bio
I’m a girl from the West Mids who has two sides to her. I love nothing more than a pint and a mixed grill 🍻 but my westernised upbringing doesn’t mean I can’t embrace my Indian glam side. 💃 🤗

“You’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do to get what you want”

Motivation for entering The Circle: “Obviously, the money side of things. We’ve struggled quite a lot our whole lives so to be able to win that money would completely change our lives.

“The other big thing that I’m going on the show for is that I’ve been judged my whole life for the way I live because I come from an Indian background. My parents and family are very westernised but it’s the wider society, the way that I live isn’t the expectation of what an Indian girl should be.

“So, I’m going on to show that you can still live your life, have that social media lifestyle and also be a respectable girl. It’s very rare to see an Indian girl on a TV show. I’m probably going to get a lot of stick for it from the wider Indian community but I just want to help other people and I want Indian parents to watch the way that I conduct myself and know what sort of lifestyle I have and think ‘maybe my daughter can go out and do that’.”

Strategy: “It’s going to be good to get to know everybody and make notes of what everyone’s doing. I have a bit of a radar, I know within the first couple of minutes whether or not I’m going to like somebody, and that’s over a text conversation. They always say don’t judge a book by its cover, but I do and it’s probably not the best way to live, but every time I’ve not had a reason for disliking somebody, they’ve eventually done something wrong.

“I’m also going to be very watchful about the way people talk about other people. Because if you’re talking about somebody else, you’re probably saying the same about me.

“I’d like people to feel like they can confide and trust me, that would give me a massive advantage. Not to say that I’m going to exploit that trust, but I can use it to my advantage to get to where I need to be.”
