Excerpt from Hansika Interview- When asked about how active she was on social media, Hansika said that she wasn’t very active on social media and whenever she got bored while studying, she would, instead, prefer to listen to music. “I never took any tuition but followed a disciplined routine on my own and cleared my concepts in the school itself,” she added.(www.indianexpress.com )
