Musings With Maryam Zolghadr by Mimansha Walia Musings With Maryam Zolghadr 19 June 2023 COVER STORIES Advertisement Under the sun-kissed skies of the French Riviera, where dreams meld with talent and artistry, the renowned model and entrepreneur Maryam Zolghadr, is all set to grace the exalted Cannes Film Festival with her presence and allure. She is giddy with excitement as she opens up about being a part of the eminent Cannes Film Festival in an exclusive interview with L’utopia. Maryam Zolghadr has been an enthralling force in the realm of social media influence. Her vibrant spirit, creativity, and dedication to her art have been turning people’s heads across all platforms. When asked about how she had been lately, she smiles excitedly and says how stoked she is to see what the next few days at the film festival have in store for her. This isn’t her first time in Cannes or the film festival as such, she further reveals. It’s her third time in the city and the second time attending the film festival, but the excitement is just as fresh as if it were her first. Cannes Film Festival is another stepping stone in her career, with promises of forging new connections and finding home and comfort in the limelight that comes along with it. Something that is genuinely etched in her memory is “all the glitz and the glam and the chaos that come with it” (her lifestyle). From running to the showrooms to select the best, most appealing gowns designed by renowned fashion designers, getting dolled up by the incredibly talented hair and makeup artists, leaving the Martinez Hotel in full glam, and then arriving at the premiere, being surrounded by so many talented actors and actresses, producers and directors who are showcasing their art. She finds it to be truly an experience of its own. The glamour and grace of the prestigious festival match her own. Her favorite thing about the festival is “the red carpet moments, of course”. The buzz and glamour surrounding these events, coupled with the opportunity to meet creators from all over the world and exchange ideas with them, make the whole event all the more enchanting. It caters to her natural ability to weave seamless narratives into a fascinating tapestry of inspiration, empowerment, and entertainment, where she constantly bridges cultures and generations with her work. This is what makes her one of the most inspirational influencers of our time. Sharing with L’utopia whether or not Cannes actually lives up to its hype, she nods eminently and expresses, “The Cannes Film Festival is known for its glamorous atmosphere and is considered one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. It's exciting to be among the first to see new and often critically acclaimed movies.” She further reiterates what she’s looking forward to the most at Cannes. According to her, it is “everything.” The celebration of cinema itself, the chance to connect with industry professionals, the screenings, the movie screenings, and the unmissable intersection of fashion and film. She cannot wait to be caught up in the whole whirlwind of excitement! Currently based in LA, she has cultivated a diverse and inclusive community that spans the globe, bringing together people from all over the world and spreading awareness by shedding due light on important social issues. Whether it involves social issues or a simple engagement in heartfelt conversations discussing fashion and travel, Maryam’s range and influence over her followers know no bounds. She describes her life affairs in a single word that holds boundless meaning for her: “Transformation.” She has had many transformative experiences in both her personal life and her professional life. Cannes has only made it better. It has been a true catalyst for growth and an opportunity to immerse herself in the wonderfully captivating film industry. Maryam’s charismatic presence is a reminder that the power of influence supersedes the confines of the screen and that there are always new dimensions and possibilities opening up, ready for new experiences and exploration. She has crafted a digital universe of her own, and her presence never fails to leave an indelible mark on hearts and minds alike.

Day Four At Dubai Fashion Week AW 26-27 Was About Designers Owning Their Voice By Sakshi Shah Day Four At Dubai Fashion Week AW 26-27 Was About Designers Owning Their Voice 8 February 2026 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Day four of Dubai Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2026/27 delivered collections that were decisive, self-assured, and unapologetically clear in their intent. This was not a day for subtlety. Instead, designers stepped forward with strong silhouettes, defined identities, and collections that felt fully formed — each one confident in its own direction. With returning DFW members and striking debuts, the day unfolded like a series of statements rather than experiments. Every show felt intentional, rooted in a point of view that didn’t need explanation. Lili Blanc set the tone with Chapter 11 , a collection that was bold in its restraint and commanding in its execution. The silhouettes were sharp, architectural, and unmistakably powerful. Structured tailoring anchored the collection, while fluid elements added movement without softening its authority. This was a collection about presence — clothes designed for women who lead with clarity and composure. Chapter 11 didn’t signal reinvention; it asserted position. Confident, polished, and firmly in control. Making her Dubai Fashion Week debut, Dina Melwani brought couture drama with Sapphire . Inspired by the strength and symbolism of pink and blue sapphires, the collection leaned into sculptural forms and precision tailoring. Crystal embroidery was used with intent, catching light without overwhelming the silhouette. The pieces felt commanding yet refined — couture that prioritised shape, strength, and impact. Melwani’s debut stood out for its clarity of vision and its confident understanding of modern couture language. A different kind of boldness came through Soramame , the Vietnam-based luxury brand presenting Between One Thought and the Next . The collection explored vulnerability not as fragility, but as power. Fluid draping, elongated lines, and tactile fabrics created silhouettes that moved with the body rather than against it. There was emotional depth here, but the execution was confident and deliberate. The clothes spoke through texture, proportion, and ease — proving that strength can also be expressed through softness when it is intentional. Closing the day, Lama Jouni marked a decade at Dubai Fashion Week with a collection that celebrated evolution without losing edge. Known for sharp tailoring and statement silhouettes, the brand expanded into evening wear while staying true to its DNA. Sequins, sheer mesh, silk, and mixed materials introduced a new layer of drama, balanced by precise construction and strong form. The collection felt celebratory, assured, and forward-looking — a designer fully comfortable in her legacy while continuing to push it forward. As the Buyers’ Programme concluded at Dubai Design District , the energy around day four reflected the runway: focused, confident, and driven by designers who know exactly who they are designing for. Day four of Dubai Fashion Week AW 26/27 wasn’t about holding back. It was about designers standing firm in their identity — and letting the clothes make the statement.

Aakanksha Singh, the Runway 34 actress talks about Self-Love and Self Upliftment By Aparajita Jaiswal Aakanksha Singh, the Runway 34 actress talks about Self-Love and Self Upliftment 6 June 2022 COVER STORIES Advertisement Aakanksha Singh, who made her film debut with the Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt -starrer Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017) , before turning her attention down South, is back in the Bollywood fold. She will be seen playing a pivotal role in Runway 34 , featuring Ajay Devgn , Amitabh Bachchan and Rakul Preet Singh . In a candid conversation with Aparajita Jaiswal, the actress talks about her experience so far in the film industry. Aakanksha Singh discerns that it is definitely a difficult job to leave your mark on the film industry. She recognizes that it is not only a challenge to leave your mark on the film industry but any field for that matter. “I feel that with so much of competition and so many good actors to compete with you. I feel that you have to be really good in your content and your craft. You have to keep updating your craft, you have to keep learning and with every project you have to prove yourself,” she persists. “The audience is really very smart. They like to see good content and good actors and it definitely is a challenge to give them what they want to see. So I would say that yes it’s difficult but it’s not impossible and if you are good I think that the audience will love you. Perhaps it may take time but it is not impossible at all.” “My journey so far as an actor, has been so good. I’m really grateful that I’m living my dream and I’m doing what I love. I’m very fortunate and grateful that I’ve got an opportunity to be in this industry and to be an actor. If I see my graph I would say that from here on I would really want to explore more and do more and more work and I always believed in quality rather than quantity.” The actress says feeling rather proud of the wonderful work that the movie-goers have been fortunate enough to see. “I’m really very proud of all my work and from here on out I really hope and wish that I’ll get more opportunities to perform better and to showcase my talent more.” Aakanksha Singh is making headway into the industry with warp speed as she is expected to release multiple new projects in the coming few months. The actress is excited to reveal her new project, a south anthology film, which is releasing on OTT very soon. Another one of her projects, an originally Telugu series, Parampara, dubbed in 7 languages including Hindi, is expecting its second season to release in July. Aakanksha plays 3 different age groups in a new Hindi series which is expected to be announced soon. “There are so many actors I look up to,” Aakanksha says. “But if I had to choose one name, I would say, both nationally and internationally, Priyanka Chopra . What she has done for herself and she really made our country proud. So, anyone who is dreaming to make it big, she is an inspiration and it’s amazing to see where she is at right now.” Aakanksha Singh is a true inspiration for those of us constantly worrying about where life will take us. “For me it is very important to live in the moment and I always try to live in the present. I am really enjoying the kind of projects I’m doing and the opportunities I’m getting. I don’t know where it will take me but the work satisfaction I’m getting is more than enough and I feel like if my work is good and if the audience is liking me, definitely it will take me somewhere. Nobody can plan that and I don’t plan my future. I go with the flow and I am just enjoying the process and without even thinking what will be there for me tomorrow.” Aakanksha Singh talks about the ease with which she slipped into the character that she played on screen for the movie Runway 34 . She felt right at home with the character. “I would say easiest of all was runway 34 . My character Samaira Khanna was easiest to slip into of all the characters I have played. It was not only just the character but the environment that I shot in. It was smooth and everything was in place. I feel that as a team, we enjoyed working together. So yes, that was the easiest character I feel, without any hesitation, I just slipped into.” Aakanksha Singh talks about her favourite character amongst all the ones she has played so far. “There are two short films, and both the characters are really close to my heart. One is Methi ke Ladoo where I played Radhika and the other one is Kaid. Both the characters were very complex to play, I would say. As I said, the easiest character was runway 34 Samaira Khanna but these two characters were really difficult to portray because there were so many complex emotions and I really enjoyed that.” The actress shares her views on Body Positivity and Women Empowerment. “I feel women empowerment and body positivity is much too correlated. I feel that it is very important for a woman to be empowered with the education and with a sense of self-worth. It is very important to accept yourself as you are. When it comes to body positivity as well, it is very important for us to accept ourselves and also accept others; the way they look and the way they are there. There should not be any judgement passed over. You have to be very comfortable in your skin. Recently I stated in one of my posts as well, how much I love myself. Initially I was not very aware of how I was not putting myself on the front foot but now I have realised it is important to love yourself, to work on yourself and to love the way you are. So I think it is very important to accept the fact that everybody is different from one another, and female empowerment also comes when you lift each other. One female can lift the other and they can cheer for each other. It is very important to know the importance of education and take your own decision in your life. I think the two are correlated as we talk about both being empowered and body positivity. One thing which plays an important role is the self-confidence that we have. It is very important to have that and we need to love ourselves.” Aakanksha Singh talks to the young readers of the magazine and says, “Life is too short so enjoy each and every moment of your life. Just be there, wake up, show up and love yourself as much as you can. Because the only thing which will stay with you is your body and your mind. So train your mind to be a healthy mind, be a healthy body, love yourself and just go for whatever you would like to do and whatever you love just to do. Don’t resist, don’t think much about what will be there for you in the future.

Flavors Galore: India isn't just about butter chicken; it's a culinary wonderland bursting with a riot of flavors from north to south and east to west. Imagine the fiery spices of a Punjabi curry, the fragrant aromas of a Hyderabadi biryani, or the delicate sweetness of a Bengali dessert. Each region boasts its own culinary signature, making every meal a delightful adventure. The Mystery of Butter Chicken's Origins: The dual dispute! Ah, the age-old question: who invented butter chicken?

It's like the ultimate culinary chameleon, blending seamlessly with whatever cuisine it encounters. Here’s to The Great Tikka Masala Debate: And let's not forget about its close cousin, chicken tikka masala. Is it Indian? Is it British? Who cares when it's this delicious! Legend has it that this dish was born out of a happy accident in a Glasgow restaurant, where tandoori chicken met tomato soup and sparks flew. Regardless of its origins, chicken tikka masala has become a beloved comfort food around the world. All about A Dash of Spice and a Pinch of Sweetness: What's the secret to butter chicken's universal appeal? Some say it's the perfect balance of spices, while others swear by its subtle sweetness.

SOCIETY by Akash Khatri Coping with Confinement 27 July 2020 SOCIETY Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement The earlier days of the pandemic caused a furore and great hullabulla. Great chaos everywhere, no school, no maids, work from home and still ambiguous about the situation ahead as we approach towards the end of lockdown four. During this whole topsy turvy journey gradually it seems we have become more human. A transition from a dependant to a more independent working – subtracting the maids and a more gadget-free atmosphere. During this whole transition period, I treasured dormant talent of my personality, as I could steal some time for trying out solo singing, penning down my thoughts to create short stories, experimenting in the kitchen and even nailed the unusual skill of giving men a haircut. Today I had lessons of stitching from my mom-in-law and found that it’s not that tedious and tricky as I had thought, of course, one needs to be lucky to have a good teacher beside you as my MIL is. I tried my hand on tailoring too, thanks to the lockdown. All and all it’s so much fun being indoors with family, doing crazy things and enjoying the nearness, attention as well as helping hand of the spouse. Above all, the level of tolerance has reached its acme and this habit I would always wish could be deep-rooted within me forever. At last, it took a microscopic-organism to make us more human. #LockdownPandemicIndependentConfinement SEARCH Why India is the most depressed country in the world?

Inside Gen Next At Lakmé Fashion Week: A Showcase Led By Saim By Sakshi Shah Inside Gen Next At Lakmé Fashion Week: A Showcase Led By Saim 31 March 2026 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement At Lakmé Fashion Week , the Gen Next showcase remains one of the most exciting platforms for discovering new talent. Known for introducing fresh voices in Indian fashion, it brings together designers who are shaping how fashion is designed, worn, and understood today. This season, SAIM ’s presentation stood out for its clear point of view and confident design language. Drawing from temple sculptures and mythological references, the collection explored the human form through fluid silhouettes and sculptural construction. The lineup featured kaftans, kurtas, dresses, and layered separates in relaxed, oversized shapes. There was a strong focus on ease — garments that moved naturally with the body while still holding their structure. The balance between fluidity and form gave the collection a distinct and recognisable identity. Fabric played a key role in defining the collection. Silk Chanderi formed the base, paired with satin and silk patchworks that added depth and contrast. Jersey drapes and ribbed detailing introduced flexibility, giving the pieces a more lived-in, adaptable quality without compromising on finish. One of the strongest elements was the approach to ornamentation. Rather than being added on, embellishment was built into the garments themselves. Pearls, sequins, metal threads, crystals, and handcrafted tassels were used to create jewellery-like forms within the clothing. These details appeared as neckpieces, armbands, and waist accents, seamlessly integrated into the design. The result was a collection where clothing and adornment worked together, adding a sculptural edge without feeling heavy or excessive. Beyond the visual language, the collection carried a personal layer, drawing from memory and cultural references that reflect a more contemporary Indian identity. While the inspiration was rooted in tradition, the execution felt current and globally relevant. What made the showcase particularly effective was its clarity. Every element — from silhouette to fabric to detail — felt intentional and connected. There was a strong sense of direction, with no excess or distraction. As part of the Gen Next platform at Lakmé Fashion Week, the presentation reinforced the importance of new voices in the industry. It highlighted a shift towards fashion that prioritises perspective, construction, and wearability over trend-driven design. With this collection, SAIM establishes a strong and confident presence—one that feels aligned with the way Indian fashion is evolving today. It’s a clear, focused vision that positions the label as one to watch in the seasons ahead.

Where The Conversation Took Turns Like The Everest’s Terrain With Sahil Salathia by Anushka Sharma Where The Conversation Took Turns Like The Everest’s Terrain With Sahil Salathia 27 January 2023 COVER STORIES Advertisement In a very interesting conversation with Mr. Sahil Salathia, we learnt far too much about how he perceives things outside the realm of acting and while he’s on set. Nevertheless, these conversations took turns like that of Everest(Pun Intended) and we loved him in that series! Movies aren’t all that Sahil Salathia is about. He also has his hands dipped in fashion and is quite a groundbreaking idol indeed. When asked about how he seeks to break the fashion stereotypes for the men as a fashion icon himself, he said, “Firstly, thank you for addressing me as a fashion icon: I’m humbled! Considering the boundaries that lie in fashion, they are far too many for men and women to tackle. One shouldn’t have a lot of seriousness around these boundaries. You wanna wear colour, wear colour, you wanna wear black nail paint, do that. Life is art, hence, be artistic and break these so-called boundaries! The key is to not take yourself so seriously!” The key indeed is to not take ourselves so seriously, after all! Fashion is art you wear and Sahil has made it look beyond surreal. Elucidating upon how it was like to work for the series, “Everest”, he fondly recalls, “I got a Lines Gold Award for the best debut and it was an incredible experience. We shot for a year in Dokriani glacier, and shot for a year and a half in total, considering the kind of a perfectionist that Ashutosh sir is. We really put in the work on this series, and Target and Everest are both available on Hotstar is indeed worth all the admiration! Ashutosh sir is a sheer gentleman, and I got to learn so much from the young cast and the fantastic actors that were a part of this series.” While there is so much that the actor has already got himself into, we couldn’t help but seek a glimpse of the upcoming projects he is set for in the future. He tells us all about them and how! “I’ve done two very very interesting parts in two very very very interesting web series. I can’t talk too much about it, but one is produced by Nikhil Advani and the other is produced by Viacom. I’d let them come up with more announcements, but I’ve finished filming and it was a bliss indeed!” Talking about the roles that he has particularly loved during his current tenure in the industry, he fondly recalls, “I can’t really pick a role that is closest to my heart, but I particularly loved my role as “Arjun Sabharwal”, the mountaineer from Everest, because it was my first and it was with Ashutosh, who is literally a legend. There are two more very interesting roles I’ve done which you’ll get to see soon.” As a groundbreaker in fashion and an actor whose skills speak for himself, we sought more of him than just acting. We wanted to know all about his viewpoint towards therapy for mental health issues amongst men and women in today's age and climate. He says, “Mental health is one of the pressing issues in today’s times. Considering how rapidly dynamic our lifestyles are, it’s imperative to understand the sheer importance of how mental health impacts us. Since I’m not a professional, I’d recommend one should seek help when one deems fit. Mental health is the most intrinsic part of our being and should not be ignored. Personally, I love to meditate, go to the gym and help release my endorphins through doing things that I absolutely enjoy!” As we furthered onto the topics of feminism and women empowerment, he stated, “Women empowerment is something we should all be very passionate about, since it’s not just for women, but also for the men. Considering how much we have suppressed women in the past, one ought to stand up for their rights in today’s scenario to make amends for the past. Feminism is about the rights that women rightfully deserve. It is about equality and being fair and I think everybody should believe in that.” As an actor who believes that the odds to be ever in his favour, he has an advice for everyone who seeks to get into this industry: “My advice would be to stay disciplined, stay balanced and manifest while you put in the effort. You get luckier when you work harder. Ask yourself one very important question, “Are you passionate about art or do you just wish to be famous?” Ultimately, this is what you should ask yourself before you plan to get into the industry. It’s the art that ultimately takes you places.” Art is something that is exuded through your passion for something, and the art of movies is to be known and perfected than be swooned over for the fancies that surround it. Nobody does it better than Sahil Salathia indeed.

SOCIETY by Aparajita Jaiswal Why is being Real underrated? 16 July 2021 SOCIETY Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Contemporary times arranged our lives and turned it to be a lot easier, organised and captivated. Many of us have an impeccable life in real life but people leading a different life are expected to always look good on parade which intentionally leads to deceiving their own conscience. Having an engaged and often organised life is charming, in today’s times. Nevertheless, all of us can’t possess the same thing. Neither we need to be pretentious of the reality, we are trying really hard to settle in. Every day when we wake up, we have a gruelling fight to win. Life throws uncountable targets on us either professional, emotional, or may be related to our family or relationships. And the majority of us work hard with both our body and soul to accomplish those targets. At times our own high standards become unreachable. Yet every day teaches us a lesson. Wise men learn, move on and never look back because we are neither competing with others nor are we a part of any race, organised by the society, being its Jury. Remember! When babies are born, they are born with their own blessings and short-comings. And since then, we have been building a life of our own. We succeed, we fail, we learn, we let go but we grow because There are no failures, only outcomes, as long as I learn Something, I am succeeding. We all encounter many hassles in life with respect to mental and physical health, appearances, standards of living, comparative status or more but at the very least we should cherish that we are learning and succeeding. A long life is awaited… Start your journey with the hard work you expose. You shall reap what you ought to sow. Pull off the unreal mask you have on your face. Show to the world, true warriors are you, in the race.! It’s about time when individuals shall learn to embrace the scars they are born with or have earned in the journey to reach where they are right now. My two cents here, we should at the minimum spare a minute to understand the beauty of individuals we are moving along, of the people we vicariously live through and of the people we are inspired from. Potentially then we can see right through their perfect personality, the scars they are embracing to be Strong, Fierce, Smart, Gracious, Live, Empathetic and Charming. Every individual has built a historical personality from their lives which was inevitably arduous and exceptionally perfect. And, we are able to build an exceptionally impeccable life because we never underrated our reality of being perfect in our imperfections, strong in our failures, real in this very unreal underrated world. “Don’t look back to what others have, Build your own unique real self. Perfections are underrated, Impeccable is the journey you live in.” SEARCH Why India is the most depressed country in the world?

Kaveri Priyam On Making Her Childhood Dream Come True by Anushka Sharma Kaveri Priyam On Making Her Childhood Dream Come True 13 March 2023 COVER STORIES Advertisement In a candid interview, Kaveri Priyam tells us that she had absolutely no idea about how to start working in the industry! All she was clear about was getting herself enrolled in an acting institute and continuing her theatres. Afterwards, she came to know about the auditions happening in Aram nagar and without the knowledge of the do’s and don’ts, she simply started giving them! Slowly, she started learning the various things about the industry and as it was a long process, she had the opportunity of experiencing the ups and downs, the rights and wrongs and helping herself when needed which further helped her to sustain in the industry. Kaveri says that it’s all those initial years which are helping her to support herself till date. She tells us that her experience was very good apart from the times when casting directors asked for money or when they tell you that you are not the appropriate shape or size or colour for this industry. She said that for some time she even took these comments on herself and tried to work in accordance with them but eventually she realised what was good for her and what was not. Kaveri says, “Working in the industry has always been very fun. Touchwood, I have been very lucky because I got the opportunity to work with very lovely people who never made me feel that I was a newcomer in the beginning.” As a child, she always wanted to become an actor. She says she was a born drama queen and was always a part of extracurricular activities. She says she has been lucky to have a good support system; good teachers who were very proactive and her mom, who got her enrolled in various classes. Straight after school, cycling daily to her Kathak classes was extremely hectic but she really enjoyed the part where she used to be on the stage. She used to act, direct, write stories and enact them with friends which unknowingly turned out to be street plays and attract a lot of crowd on the spot. She says that as a child you would think that you are just doing all this for your playtime fun but gradually she realised that she really liked doing all of it by heart. That’s when she decided to become an actor. Despite having a studious family and mindset she realised she didn’t really enjoy it all, and acting was actually what she truly wanted to do. The day she got rejected from one of the exams was her turning point. Thus, she started giving auditions, doing theatres in Delhi and finally she got selected for a show and came to Mumbai. The show didn’t work out well but it brought her to the place where she belonged! Talking about her upcoming projects she tells us, “I am super excited for my upcoming show which is going to air on Sony Sab very soon. The name is ‘Dil diyan Gallan’ and as the name suggests, it’s Punjab based story. So I am looking forward to it, playing a new character, getting into someone else’s shoes. I am super excited for it and also for my new music video which is going to be released soon.” Kaveri speaks about what she loves the most about acting and she said, “I love the way it takes you to different places, makes you meet a lot of different people and the way it helps you grow as a person and an artist. When you work with amazing people from different walks of life, you get to know more about life in general, about different people who exist in the society and with each character you get to be in someone else’s shoes. I believe an actor is someone who can live a thousand lives, which is something really attractive and I literally live to do this. I live to live different characters, different lives, visit new places, locations and meet new people and work with amazing directors and producers. So yes, that is what I feel life is, it should be exciting every day.” We asked her where does she see herself in the next 5 years in this ever-changing entertainment industry and she answered, “I know that this industry is ever-changing and I think nothing is permanent and change is the essence of life so I do not fear change, all I expect from myself is that I adapt to the change, adjust and keep entertaining people. In the coming 5 years I see myself as someone who knows all the tricks and trades of my field and then maybe later I can decide on what sort of work I want to do in the industry. I want to progress, that’s for sure.” Apart from being the character, she thinks, to look like the character is a challenging job. If the character is plumpy, extremely thin or ranky, it is something which takes a toll on your health because there is a limited amount of time in which an actor has to look a certain way and if not followed under proper guidance, it might hamper your health. She says that it’s not particularly tough but extremely challenging, and especially for her as she is a big foodie. But, as of now she hasn’t got the chance to completely transform herself and she does look forward to doing such roles in the future. Kaveri speaks candidly about the pressure in her work and what she does to tackle it, to which she simply said that she, personally, never really had to deal with any such thing. “If you enjoy doing something and can feel that it is meant for you then, that’s it. There is pressure in every other sector and I think that it is a part of work and it should be taken lightly. There is this constant thought that should be there in your mind that you are getting to do what you always wanted to, and so, it is a blessing. There are certain schedules you have to adjust yourself in but that is the fun and challenging part of it which makes it exciting.” About her journey and the obstacles, she tells us that, “Wherever I went to take acting classes, I was always told that I am gifted, which I didn’t understand at that time, but, slowly I got to know that some things are actually there within me but they need to be polished. To convert the talent into skills, the theatres and acting classes helped a lot. Talking about the journey, initially it was tough as you are exploring new things but once you cross that phase, get a break, get appreciated, gain the confidence then things become a little easier. Although competition is there, you have to be determined, focused, keep working on your craft and that is how one succeeds in any field. It has not exactly been a roller coaster ride but, I had my own challenges which I overcame. One of the challenges was that I was overweight for this industry but I decided I wanted to look good on camera and I made that transformation for my first show, from being a very plumpy to a very thin and lean girl. I won't call it an obstacle, but just a part of the job.” For our readers who may not be as familiar with her line of work, she says, “ Be it any industry, there are all sorts of people so, telling someone that this or that industry is not good, is baseless. Meeting, approaching and having the right circle of people around you is very important to achieve anything in life because there has got to be someone who shows you the path and the right direction. Maybe you will find it on your own or someone from your near and dear ones will guide you, but that direction is very important otherwise you might just be all over the place.” Be it any industry, move forward, stay focused, go in the right direction and make sure you meet the right people.
