Talking about how she started her career with Surekha ji, Avika added, "Very lucky to have started my journey with having her around. It was a blessing and I'm sure wherever she is, she is blessing me and helping me grow. I have learnt to stay grounded from her. On sets, she never made me feel that I was working with such an experienced person and I should behave in a certain way. She helped me grow. I learnt from her that everyday, every character needs 100% of you. I have seen her work really hard and that will always be my inspiration."
