Not too long ago, during a recent therapy session, Preeti Nair had a significant realisation about her outlook on life.
“This year was the first time I finally acknowledged how pessimistic I am,” she says. “As much as I will try to justify [my thinking] as being practical or logical, it’s actually really negative.”
Who can blame her? The past four years have been undeniably challenging for Preeti. She received a conditional warning from the police for a controversial parody video and lost her father to suicide – last month, her brother was handed a six-week jail sentence by the State Courts. That’s a lot for anyone to deal with, particularly when you’re in the public spotlight, and have embraced the role of being a voice (albeit a humorous one) for the under-represented in Singapore.
A COMPELLING VOICE FOR CHANGE
Preeti gained popularity online in 2016 after she released a viral parody in response to a video that featured insensitive critiques of Singaporeans’ fashion choices. She transitioned to working full-time as a comedian and Internet personality (@preetipls) in 2017. On social media and in videos, Preeti is extroverted with a larger-than-life personality.
In person, however, she’s an introvert. Acknowledging her “shy and quiet” personality, she explains: “Being quiet does not necessarily reflect my lack of interest in conversation; it’s just that I tend to have a lot on my mind, and I’m someone who simply likes to observe a lot more.”
