She recalled that her father was strict about her studies during school but had a different approach once she joined college."I never bunked classes in school because my father was like Hitler. He used to check my school notes and marks every weekend.

But when I was in college, I used to bunk classes. The first film I watched during my college days was Magadheera, and I watched it so many times," she recalled.The actress also revealed that she would make excuses whenever her father questioned her about missing classes.

She joked that her acting journey had actually begun at home, where she would convincingly act to avoid her father's questions about bunking college.Mirnaa calls working with Rajinikanth a surreal experience Meanwhile, she was last seen in the much awaited sequel ‘Jailer 2’ alongside Superstar Rajinikanth playing his daughter-in-law.
