She then wrote a sequel of Everyone Has a Story and titled it Everyone Has a Story -2. In an interview, she revealed that it was social media that helped her to connect with her readers and her self-publishing idea got successful. She further said,
What a big publishing house does is to help your book get to the tier-2 and tier-3 city readers. I love talking to the youth though. Whenever someone reads a story, they would want an outlet to share their thoughts later. My travelling and social media interactions revolve around them.”
From 2015 to 2023 she wrote around 5 novels, This is Not Your Story, Stories We Never Tell, and Mr Lover etc. Audible converted her books into audiobooks.

Tags don’t really matter to me; they are given by others, you cannot call yourself a celebrity. What people are making me is their department. I just know I want to write stories, inspire people and do whatever I can to spread positivity and motivate others.”
