So I think a turning point in my journey was in my second year of undergrad when I did this film Brahman, where I met all these wonderful actors and actors who had trained in acting, and they kind of introduced me to this concept of actor training. And that's when I realized that acting doesn't have to be just this thing that you kind of jump into and it has no structure, no format, because I think I'm someone who thrives in a routine, in a structure

Well, that was indeed a brilliant answer and an amazing journey. Of course, it is a melody for us to listen to. Going ahead to the second question, how would you describe the feeling of acting in in front of audience versus the camera? And if you had to pick one over the other, which one would you choose

So it's literally like a wave that you're getting to ride and you have to stick with till the very end because it's a start to finish. There's no cut in theater. So once you're on that stage, you better write that way. Hill curtain call. Whereas doing film work on camera work, the audience is a lot more, I don't know, narrowed down to a very specific point because you're also working

Aha. Well, that was an extremely intriguing and an interesting one as well. And of course, I can surely hook onto some of your emotions and feelings while acting in front of the audience or in a theater. And for sure, most of us well, audience will also feel the same. Sliding onto the third question, what are some of the interesting projects that you are working on currently

So I'm hoping by the end of this pandemic year I would have at least a short film script, at least one that I'm able to pitch and then I'm able to direct and whatever else comes along the way with acting jobs that would, of course, be fantastic. But I think now I'm trying to think of ways of how I can round myself as an artist, so I'm not just focusing on one discipline

@itsoliviaaaa · 0:23
Well, well, well. We have just the perfect news for our community and honestly, we just can't wait to watch it. And I bet this will be as flawless as your previous works. Moving on to to the next question. How has your Pandemic experience been both personally and professionally

I was completing my master's program, ready to get back into the real world. And that's when the pandemic hit. So it was a real shock to the system because that's the time that we're looking forward to coming out of the cocoon after three years and looking forward to all the work that will be happening. And then suddenly the world just stood still. And I was away from my family. My family is in India, and I was in the US

Well of course the pathos of Pandemic has been extremely disastrous for each and every individual. It has hit us at a bottom rocks level, moved us from our way and it is yet uncertain for us to know know how long we will be living in the same catastrophe. But as we are buckling ourselves, we just can't wait to watch you on screen acting finely. Moving on to the last question. You have been blessed with success in a career path that can be challenging

You have to remind yourself of why you're in this field. You need to have something that's feeding your heart and soul, that's outside of these superficial markers like money or Fame, like money and Fame, they're just byproducts of a profession like acting. But if that's why you're doing it, then I really don't know how sustainable that is for your career or for your mental health. So why are you really in this discipline?

I've always thought that I can be someone who wanted to go into or get into that. But I've always had these fears and these creative blocks. But I think if you can just advice, maybe it might be too late for me, but maybe for someone else, it might be an inspiration. So what advice do you actually have for the younger set of people who want to pursue this? Who wants to start their journey in drama or theater? Thank you. It's

Hello. So my question for you is a little different as we all hear about this Nepotism in this in the field of arts and Theatre especially. And so what's your take on whether Nepotism is good or bad? Because as for my personal opinion, I don't consume them in Nepotism as a beam. If you have talent and skill, there is nothing much needed. So what's your perspective regarding this Nepotism and how it's do you take this thing, your life
Hey Anulan, I'm a really big fan of yours and I have a question for you. How are Indian projects different from the US projects you do
And I have a question, and the question is what it was like to study at a drama school in the US and how it was a typical day of a drama school student looked like. Thanks you it's
