Dimple describes her attitude towards work

In an interview with news agency PTI, Dimple said, “I’m like a craving maniac… I forget my sleep, my food and I am 24/7 hyper. I drive myself sick with worry. I’m crazy. I don’t like that about myself, but that’s me. I can’t help it. Maybe that works for me.”
