Mishqah lays down

first time I went to the Goliath Comedy Club. It was such fun.”

She said the perfect

Saturday for her would be going for a hike, then cooling off in a swimming pool or playing board games with her friends and family.

She also loves food.

“I will eat anything and everything. My favourite food is mince kebab and roti if it’s a home cooked meal or if we go out then I enjoy Thai and sushi. I’ve attempted making Thai before but

I’m not good at it,” said Parthiephal.

How does she stay in shape? Parthiephal said she has been blessed with good DNA.

“I can’t stick to a diet because I can’t give up dessert. I however, do stay away from carbonated drinks and gym once or twice a week. My mom is 47 years old and she fits into my clothes, so I’m grateful and lucky to have good DNA,” she said.

Along with good DNA, Parthiephal also has a very relaxed sense of style.

“I like to look pretty and beautiful at events but aside from that I don’t own many dresses. I have a lot of jeans, shorts, vests, T-shirts and sneakers. I’m most comfortable in these clothes. I think if I could wear gym clothes all the time, I would, but people will call me crazy.

“I also live on Pinterest to find great ways to mix and match clothes that I already have in my closet. I recently had a kitchen tea to attend and I had nothing to wear, so found this shirt that I had from three years ago and matched it up,” said the actress who we will be seeing more of later this year.
