Pallavi has mastered a lot of things during her career, but balance isn’t one of them. She told Liminal Mag, “My spiritual self and intellectual self are always in opposition.

Balance is something I need to constantly work on, it doesn’t come easy to me.”

Acting isn’t the only way that Pallavi wants to share stories with the world. She is also a talented writer and she’s on the brink of becoming an author. Pallavi is currently working on a book that will be published by ABC Books in 2021. Maybe one day she’ll decide to get into screenwriting.

Her mother is actually the person who she has always looked up to the most. During an interview with Liminal Mag she said, “My mother. She is an unsung warrior to me, and I have inherited so much of my fight from her. I cannot imagine what it was like to be a beautiful, brown, Indian-accented woman in engineering academia in the nineties, in Australia.”
