Speaking about working in the South industry and how it didn't work out for her, Erica said, "The journey was unreal. I don't come from an acting background. I have movies down South and seen how it didn't work out for me there. It didn't give me that kind of growth or fame as an actor. It would have worked for someone else. I was very young and also, I had a lot of problems gaining weight." 

She further added, "Here when I moved to TV, and luckily, it was destined to happen that my first project did very well. The response was amazing. What was even better was that when I did my second show, it also worked well. I had even more people loving and appreciating me. It really worked for me in a good way." 

Great going, Erica!
