A pivotal moment in my journey as a model and actress was when I landed in this industry, from my hometown. It significantly boosted my career and opened up new opportunities. To navigate through it, I stayed focused, worked hard on my craft, and remained adaptable to the challenges that came with such a prominent role.
Balancing the demands of modeling and acting requires effective time management and flexibility. I prioritize my commitments to ensure I can fulfill both modeling and acting obligations. Additionally, I constantly strive to maintain a versatile skill set that allows me to seamlessly transition between these two aspects of my career.
To stay creatively inspired in the dynamic world of entertainment, I expose myself to a variety of artistic influences, including films, literature, theater, and visual arts. I also collaborate with creative individuals from diverse backgrounds, attend workshops, and actively seek out new challenges that push me out of my comfort zone. Continuous learning and experimentation are key to evolving as a model and actress.
One professional challenge I faced in my career was when I had to audition for a role that was outside of my usual typecast. Initially, I felt uncertain and nervous, but I approached it as an opportunity for growth. I prepared diligently, sought feedback from industry professionals, and remained resilient in the face of rejection. Ultimately, I learned the importance of embracing versatility and authenticity, which led to personal growth and a broader range of opportunities in my career.
As a role model in the industry, I believe in the power of diversity and representation. I actively seek out projects that celebrate diversity in casting and storytelling, and I advocate for inclusivity both on and off-screen. I collaborate with organizations and initiatives that promote diversity in the entertainment industry. By taking proactive steps to promote inclusivity, I hope to contribute to a more equitable and representative entertainment landscape.
Lastly, my best ever support is my family. Several times, when I thought of leaving the industry because of rejection, my father always told me one thing: “Beta, jis cheez ke liye aap apne ghar se itne dur gaye ho, aap usme lage raho, kamyabi milegi.” Thank you, Papa Ji. Ammo, I say to my Maa, and both my sisters & my brother—they are my pillar. And even my both brother-in-laws—I am blessed. And yes, now I am blessed that someone calls me Massi by my cuties, Ishtuu & Ivu.
