How would you sum up 2023 for yourself? Did it meet your expectations?
Definitely. I exceeded it. I never expected I would be a jury member at the Emmy Awards and that too as the youngest jury member. Also, I was the first Indian actress to serve on the jury at the Tallinn Film Festival. It gives me a lot of validation and reinforces my belief in art and it just neutralises me, like, why am I acting and why am I here?
As an actor, are you satisfied with your career and films thus far?
I am not sure if I will ever be satisfied. I don’t think I’ve gotten there and accomplished anything. You just want to live so many different lives, do so much more and discover yourself with each film. I can only say that I am deeply grateful for whatever journey I have taken.
How would you describe your journey?
There was never an easy way. I’ve given countless auditions and continue to do so. Sometimes I am offered films, but I also insist on giving auditions because I need the opportunities. But I believe it is how you view your journey and struggles; you always learn from your low points in life and you must always keep your mind clear. You always need to get back to centre yourself and I have realised that life has been kind to me wherever I am dwelling in a struggling phase, something or the other happens and I actually get centred and return with renewed zeal and enthusiasm to deal with life’s daily ups and downs.
