She said that if given a chance,  she would love to do a horror movie or a horror show.

'As a child and even now, horror is one genre that has always caught my eye while watching movies. It has been a while since I have had an opportunity to sit down and enjoy a good horror movie. However, I remember watching 'Exorcism of Emily Rose’ which gave me chills down the spine. The fact that it is based on a real-life story made the movie more intriguing.  It is my all-time favourite film in this genre.,'she said.

Asked about her favourite character from a horror movie, Chinmayee Salvi said, 'My favourite character from a horror movie would have to be Bill Skarsgard. His performance in the movie ‘IT’ was simply brilliant. I continue to enjoy watching horror and thriller movies whenever I get the opportunity to do so.”

Talking about her love for horror movies, Chinmayee said “I vaguely remember the time I was watching the movie ‘Conjuring’ in a movie theatre; I was engrossed in the scene and in all that excitement, I somehow dropped my cell phone on a women's lap, sitting next to me. In an instant, she got startled and was scared to death. It was not deliberate, but a very scary moment for both of us. Besides that, being a trained Kathak dancer, I learnt Navras Byas in detail. My friends and I used to always convince our Kathak guru to end Bhayanak Rasa with a twist of horror.”

 Asked whether she is open to working a a film or show in the horror genre  Chinmayee said “If I ever do get a chance to work and explore such a project, why not? I will be more than happy to take it up.”
