During her interview, the host posed a hypothetical scenario, asking, “If offered a role in a Pakistani drama set in Dubai, featuring handsome Muslim actors in lead roles, and with all other formalities in place, would you seize the opportunity?”
“I would be inclined to work, but my initial preference would be to work here [in India],” responded the Udaariyaan star.
“I wouldn’t outright decline, but my initial inclination would be to remain in Bombay and pursue work here,” she further elaborated.
The host showered compliments, acknowledging Malviya’s beauty and intellect, emphasizing that the Pakistani television industry is actively seeking actresses like her. In response, Malviya expressed gratitude and reiterated her eagerness to work there if given the opportunity.

In a video shared by Bollywood Bubble Television, Singh remarked, “Despite labeling our neighboring country as an adversary, examine their content. Reflect on our content. Why do we perpetuate a culture of victim-blaming? Is this the narrative we wish to convey? That dissent will result in repercussions? This feudal mindset is concerning. Do we lack the will to change? Otherwise, let’s be forthright about our stance.”
On the professional front, the 20-year-old star has garnered attention for her stint on Bigg Boss 17.
Additionally, she has been featured in numerous music videos, including Bomb Bomb, Aaja Chhori, Tu Mileye, Town, Ladeya Na Kar, Viah, Junooniyatt, and Kunda.
