Alaya F's successful debut with "Jawaani Jaaneman" was followed by many film offers, but the actors says the nationwide lockdown has hindered the process of choosing her next project.

The Nitin Kakkar-directed film, also featuring Saif Ali Khan and Tabu, opened to positive reviews in January end.

"A lot of the conversations about films and meetings came to a standstill. We will have to resume it when everything's done. But it definitely does cut momentum. I feel like I was going superfast and now it's all on halt...," Alaya told PTI.

The actor said she was travelling for work within the country before the pandemic took over and reached home right in time.

"I had to come back early as I knew all this was happening and knew we are probably heading for a lockdown and there'll be lots of restrictions. When I came back, we went straight into lockdown. My work definitely did get cut halfway."
The 22-year-old actor said she was at a "good point professionally" before everything came to a standstill
