Please don't follow ^ this advice.Vinodh Reddytell interviewer that u have done internship in foreign .
We hope you understand that honesty is the first thing they expect out of you when recruiting you.
Once you’ve been honest about the main reason for your gap, make sure to highlight other activities you’ve focused on throughout that time.
In the gap period, you must've definitely took part in 2-3 good activities, took classes, travelled, recovered from sickness. Do share about it in a sentence or two.
Discuss the skills you learned during this time - such as communication or leadership skills. Prove that you continued to do your homework and keep up with industry trends by attending seminars, reading news, and browsing industry related journals and magazines.
There's always something to share that makes you stand out as a positive person with never-give-up attitude. Put your best foot forward. -
Sanam KhanI think you need to answer that quite well and be witty also make sure that if you say something that you are not supposed to then it may surely get you rejected for the job.So just try making it small and simple

Absolutely and its very easy to detect lies for a seasoned interviewer.Kaustubh KatdareIf you lie and get caught, you can be 100% sure about your rejection.
Anyways, my suggestion is to be honest. If you are good enough, they will hire you. I interviewed a guy, he was a CSE bachelors. He honestly said he hadn't done anything in past 1.5 years and he's been a lazy ass and wasted. I hired him anyway ;-)
