While speaking to Mint from Paris, she shared that she was among 10 celebrities selected for the event from “different walks of life” representing different creative fields and countries. She said, “It’s crazy how much the creator economy in India has grown, that now creators like me get opportunities that are beyond our expectations.”

She also spoke about how sports and fitness have been a vital part of her life. “For me, fitness is more of a mental exercise. The days when I work out and go for my run, I am more productive, happier, and creative and I have better energy,” Koli said. “A huge chunk of my everyday work as a creator depends on my fitness journey.”
