    "It wasn't really on my to-do list when Escapex approached me and asked if I will be interested in getting an app made for myself. Delving further in it, I realised it's probably an exclusive way of connecting with people who really wish to see the real me," Taapsee said.
     
     
    "I get this question many times from people that what kind of a person am I in real, so I thought this will be a nice way for people to connect with me as an individual. Looking forward to connecting with some genuine people and not fake accounts, unlike on social media," she added.
