The actress, who has acted in Punjabi shows and basically belongs to Himachal Pradesh, is making her debut on the Hindi TV show platform. She said, "I belong to a small town in Himachal Pradesh and so when I moved to Mumbai, it was a big decision for me.

My parents wanted me to pursue a career in banking and I almost got a job, but then I had auditoned for a Punjabi show and chose acting as my profession. My parents were not happy with my decision but I decided to go ahead." Sharing how living in Mumbai is not easy, Priya added, "The cost of living here is the biggest challenge.

There is a lot of competition in Mumbai as the city attracts countless aspiring actors, and every actor wants to give their best. I have attended many auditions and faced constant rejection. I felt demotivated several times.

So I used to meditate, go to the gym, distract myself and avoided negativity. I used to feel homesick and lonely a lot in Mumbai. But now I am very focussed and enjoy my life here.

" Priya, who will play the lead role Vasundhra in the show Vasudha, shared, "I’m happy and excited to begin this new journey. I feel blessed and am deeply grateful to the production team and the channel for giving me this opportunity. It feels like I’m living my dream.
