“The character I portray in Baby is the major pillar of the story. Many people felt that I am not capable of playing a lead role since I am an influencer. But Baby would clear doubts,” she added.

She developed an interest in acting while in college and even told her mother that she wants to pursue a career in films.

About facing rejection, Vaishnavi Chaitanya remarked, “Every time I was rejected, I used to get upset. The rejections did impact me. At a point, I thought I was not cut out for acting.”

“I was trying to figure out what went wrong and did many short-form content like Dubsmash, Tik Tok, reels, etc. That made me enter YouTube.”

“The time before I signed Baby was more like a practice session. I gave my 200 percent to Baby and can’t wait to watch on the silver screen,” she signed off.
