While
2021
was
no
less
than
a
nightmare
for
many
B-town
celebrities,
actress
Alaya
F
considers
herself
lucky,
she
was
not
left
without
work.
While
speaking
to
a
leading
daily,
Alaya
said
that
2021
was
a
special
year
for
her,
because
she
got
to
do
what
she
loves
the
most
hence,
she
is
very
grateful.
She
told
ETimes,
"2021
was
a
very
special
year
for
me
because
I
finally
got
the
opportunity
to
really
work
and
be
on
sets
nonstop
after
a
long
break
that
the
pandemic
forced
upon
us!
I
was
constantly
shooting
and
in
films
back
to
back
and
even
though
it
was
very
exhausting
at
times,
it
was
so
rewarding
because
all
through
the
lockdowns
that
happened
post
my
first
release
all
I
could
think
about
was
getting
back
to
work.
So
finally
being
able
to
do
what
I
had
been
dreaming
of
was
incredible!"
She
further
said
that
in
the
last
one
year,
she
also
learnt
to
pull
the
breaks
and
how
to
balance
her
time.
She
said,
"In
between
all
of
this
I
also
learnt
important
lessons
on
how
to
balance
my
time
and
conserve
my
energy
and
take
breaks
when
necessary.
Which
is
something
I
never
used
to
do!
That's
why
this
year
was
great
because
it
was
incredibly
productive
but
at
the
same
time,
it
taught
me
a
lot
about
balance."
When
asked
what
she
expects
from
2022,
she
said
that
she
hopes
that
the
upcoming
year
is
full
new
learnings,
opportunities
and
a
lot
of
success,
love
and
happiness.
With
respect
to
work,
Alaya
has
wrapped
up
the
shooting
of
his
upcoming
film
Freddy,
wherein
she
will
share
the
screen
space
with
Kartik
Aaryan.
She
will
also
feature
in
the
Hindi
remake
of
the
Kannada
thriller
U-Turn,
which
is
expected
to
release
next
year.
