The young actress is now getting ready for her next film Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye, a unique film, co-starring Randeep Hooda and Arbaaz Khan. The film revolves around Raima's marriage gone bad with Arbaaz, making her take refuge in her fantasy man, played by Randeep.

She tells Patcy N more.

What is Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye about?

It is about a woman's journey to realising her dreams. She is a small-town married woman, with a child, who has given up her dream of becoming a singer. But when her marriage starts getting claustrophobic and her life gets mundane, she decides to re-think her dreams and fantasies. She fantasizes about a dream man, played by Randeep Hooda, who is actually her alter ego. That helps her realise her ambition.

Could you relate to this story? Do you fantasize about a dream man too?

We all think that an ideal man will come along one day to help us with our problems. But in the film, I am not in love with my ideal man. He is an alter ego, who helps me realise my dream.

I do fantasise about my ideal man like anyone else but not in terms of helping me during crisis.

You play a mother. Do you think it's too early in your career to do roles like this?

Not really, because I play a young mother. Plus, I don't mind if the character is interesting. I played a mother in Aparna Sen's Japanese Wife as well. But they show me getting married at just 16 or 17 years.

I couldn't ask for more in Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye because it revolves around the woman.
