During her study period, she started a film project called Supriya, My mother to explain her memories of growing up with her mother suffering from Schizophrenia. She initiated a creative approach to change the general attitude of society towards Schizophrenia patients and also working to raise mental health awareness. She's lived in Chennai, Gangtok and Rajasthan due to her father's commitments in the army. She stated during the interview with Rolling Stone (India) that: "In my adolescence, I went through a lot of emotional turmoil because I had started to lose my mother to schizophrenia. But somehow that also made me dive into music. It saved me and kept me connected to my mother somehow."
