Priya shared, “Definitely, I feel the power of social media is great. I belong to a very small place from Kerala so maybe even If I have tried and got to a level, I feel people from regional movies would have known about me, and then step by step, I would get to a level. But, I became an overnight sensation. A lot of things changed after that. People started recognizing me wherever I go. People still remember that clip. There is a lot of love and support constantly pouring in. It was a great thing that happened. Now, I feel it’s on me that I should work hard and put in efforts to keep up with the high expectations already on me.”
