A Chelsea supporter, Athiya enjoyed watching English Premier League, "I became a Chelsea fan because of my dad and brother, I try and watch all the important games. I'm thrilled they've won the league this season-once again Mourhino proves to be an unbeatable couch, winning three leagues in different countries! My favourite player is Lampard, I was heartbroken when he left last year".

Shares the debutant excitedly. Athiya is certainly one of the most promising newcomers this year and is presently prepping herself to start with the promotions of her first film with co-star Sooraj Pancholi.
