After acquiring a degree in BSC she continued her further studies from University of Californiaand become Master degree holder However she ended up modelling for Lancome cosmetics (Malaysia ) when she was barely 22 and that marked her first step in to the entertainment world.

On working her way into the industry on her will and might, she says, “If the aspiring one cant trace his or her most distant connection to Bollywood, the chances of survival become all the more thin. Those able to survive, however, are the winners in true sense that's what I believe in. I don't have any dream role in mind; I want to try out everything. I don't believe in being a glam doll, I just want to be a good actor.” Laila had other plans before she ventured into the B-town world, "I actually wanted to be a successful business woman after my M.B.A but fate had something else in store for me." However the newbie actress is happy with all that she has received till now and signs off saying, “I am the boss of my life. Fear nothing except God Al mighty. I live in my own zone. I really enjoy being alone. I m very emotional Virgo, I don't hurt anyone and I am very transparent.
