  • She is a vegan. [2]Sheerluxe She has endorsed and wore clothing brands that promote veganism like Stella McCartney and Nanushka.
  • She wanted to be a fashion model since she was a teen. Talking about it in an interview, she said,

    As a teenager, I bought so many fashion magazines and spent hours flicking through them, admiring all the luxury items and editorials. I always dreamed of modelling for them one day but never imagined I’d actually do it, let alone appear on the cover. It was such a pinch-me moment and I’ll never take that for granted.”

  • She tried out to be a model in her teens. She even visited some modeling agencies when a scout approached her on the street. Being shy at that time, she couldn’t become one. Talking about her transition from shy to a confident woman, she said,

    I was way too shy to be a model. In the meantime I have learned to be more outgoing and to push myself out of my comfort zone: that is necessary if you want to grow.”

  • She is a fitness enthusiast but does not visit the gym. Instead, she likes to do short workouts at her home. In an interview, she said,

    Honestly, I’m absolutely not a gym goer. When I do a workout, I like to do it privately at home. I prefer to do short workouts such as a 10-minute dance workout or abs. I particularly like Megan from The Sculpt Society.”
