    Pednekar expressed her excitement upon receiving her first paycheck, which she gave to her mother.

    She also shared the financial difficulties she encountered early in her career, stating, "I had taken a loan as a film student, and most of whatever I used to earn would go toward the repayment of my loan."

    Despite these challenges, she managed to carve out a successful acting career after being expelled from Whistling Woods International due to low attendance.

    Pednekar's notable works and future projects

    Before her acting debut, Pednekar assisted renowned casting director Shanoo Sharma at YRF and auditioned several actors, including Ranveer Singh for Band Baaja Baaraat.
