In fact, she likes to be hooked to social media.

"It's a direct link from me to my fans. Everything has an upside and a downside but luckily enough for me the social media experience has been more positive than negative.

It's a wonderful tool to interact with and reach out to the people who really care about you from all over the globe," said the 28-year-old.

A few months back, she rocked the stage of International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Weekend and Awards. Does she plan to do a full-fledged concert soon? 

"That is a dream which is probably not so far away. I want to make enough songs so I can have my own concert one day. Being on stage, gives me a different high. I've danced on stage an umpteen number of times but the kind of feeling I got when I sang at IIFA was incomparable. I want to feel that again and I hope I do that very soon," she said.

Fans will have to wait for that for a while as she is currently filming "Force 2" here.
