A month since Big Girls Don’t Cry began streaming on Prime Video, Dalai—who played the role of Pluggy in the YA show set in a boarding school—is thrilled that people have praised her performance. “People have found my performance authentic.

She knew she wanted to be on celluloid right from her early years when she played Madhuri Dixit-Nene’s daughter in Aaja Nachle (2007). After working as a set dresser on Phillauri (2017) and Hichki (2018), she doubled up as an actor and assistant director to Nitya Mehra on Made in Heaven (2019).
