Highlights
Creativity and competition are important aspects in life, but the greatest competition is with yourself.
Success isn't about competing with others; it's about becoming the best version of yourself.
Balancing the heart and brain is crucial, as societal norms often pressure people into a rigid idea of success.
Filter out the noise from society about what success and achievement mean; focus on what feels right to you.
Embrace failure as it teaches more than success, which can often lead to arrogance.
Heartbreak, pain, and failure will be your greatest teachers, helping you grow in ways success cannot.
The most important relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself.
Circumstances can change life plans, so it’s essential to be flexible and have multiple skills to pivot when needed.
Don't get stuck on one career path; be flexible in your approach but rigid with your goals.
Life's most challenging role is the one you play every day without a script—navigating personal and professional challenges.
When facing tough times, the key is to take small steps forward every day, knowing that bad moments will pass.
Success in personal and professional life comes when the two are in harmony, making your work feel less like a job and more personal.
Dark times and failure can bring out the best in us if we remain patient and continue moving forward.
Support from family and friends is critical in overcoming tough times, but ultimately, it's your own perseverance that gets you through.
Superhuman strength isn't about avoiding failure or pain; it's about enduring and pushing through difficult moments.

creativity means
competition creativity and competition
are two very important aspects in life
but as life grows on all of you I hope
you do realize that the only person that
you need to compete with is really
yourself and creativity is going to help
you when life throws throws hurdles at
you you know I was a school topper once
and I loved getting trophies I loved
getting Awards and I learned the hard
way that the greatest contest in life is
not with others it is with
myself and it took me so many years to
remove that notion of competing with
others and realize that every single day
if I do something to get better to make
myself better as a human being and to
increase the skills of my craft I am the
most successful I don't have to compete
with anyone
else I will be the best version of me it
really involves a balance of the heart
and your brain because your brain is
constantly being told by the world
around you this is the way to
success Hustle culture do 100 things
work really hard only believe in success
I don't believe any of those things to
be
honest I think that the most the
strongest and the Champions among you
will be the ones who are able to filter
out the nonsense that people tell you
about what success is and what
achievement is filter out that nonsense
please because if you are ambitious
they'll say you are selfish you are not
be ambitious if you maybe are not so
ambitious and prefer to take it easy to
have
fun they'll say you're lazy and
unmotivated you are not that you are
what you want to be do not give that
power to anybody else please that power
is only with you and you may succeed and
you may fail and I just want to tell you
here fail please fail because I didn't
learn anything from success trust me I
only got a little arrogant success
taught me nothing failure taught me
everything loss and failure will be your
greatest teachers please go through it
don't detach yourself from heartbreak
don't detach yourself from Pain don't
detach yourself from failure because
they will be your greatest teachers
greatest relationship you will ever have
in in this lifetime is a relationship
with
yourself not your parents not your
boyfriend not your
girlfriend the relationship you have
with
yourself because when you hit that low
that real real low and trust me all of
you will I know you think right now
exams is the biggest problem but trust
me you're just getting
started and when you hit that lowest low
the only person who will be there for
you is you be your best friend what
inspired you to pursue your career as an
actress ma'am well that wasn't really my
choice um I did love to study I I I I
was a very good student but
circumstances at home didn't allow me to
pursue my studies further so that's why
you shouldn't put all your eggs in one
basket learn to hustle learn to have
many things that you are good at many
things that you can shift to don't get
stuck on one idea one career and be
flexible be flexible but be rigid with
your
goals when I was studying my mom and dad
told me study study study
study you'll make it you'll make it big
study study study I know I shouldn't be
advising you
but I studied really hard I topped 10th
standard I topped 12th standard I topped
college but then when I wanted to study
further my parents could not afford it I
could not afford to study
further and I had no dream no future
nothing so what I'm trying to say is
I know that you believe that you are
supposed to take the path that your
parents that everyone expects of you but
I am here to tell you to
dream dream whatever you want and you
will achieve it you will fail it is
hard but you should persist and that's
what I did
I ate one meal a day for at least 2
months I work odd jobs I did and I'm
here today so I'm saying if I was able
to do it you can what is the challenging
uh most challenging role that you have
ever played since your career most
challenging role I think the most
challenging role has been is actually
the role that I'm playing in real life
because there's no
script things are thrown at me every
single day uh I think the the most
challenging role all of us are playing
is just figuring out life and figuring
how to get past every single day so I
think that this does not come with a
script so I think this is the most
difficult role how do you manage your
personal and professional life I think
I've reached a point where my personal
and uh professional life are so within
one another they like so it's very easy
right now because they're one and the
same I I found a profession that I am so
in love with and I'm so excited to go to
work every day and it doesn't feel like
a job anymore it feels really personal
so both are the same I think right now
in the way you dealt with your divorce
proing proceedings or with the way when
you get trolled the way the way that
they went after you with creating rumors
and I and I saw Grace and I saw dignity
and I saw strength think there I want
your thoughts on that because I deeply
admire you for it I I I don't know maybe
like you know from third person's point
of view it's that but um I was just
honestly being myself I don't know any
other way to react I that's exactly how
I want to react and that's how I do it I
don't there's no there's no not someone
else deciding for me or there's not
there's no one in my head it's it's my
natural reaction it's the way I think
it's the way I am it's the way I am with
people uh so if you call that Grace then
thank you when you define me as strong
and independent I don't see myself like
that I see all of the lows I feel I see
all of the days that I didn't want to
get out of bed I see the crying I see
the constant asking my mom if I'm going
to be okay if I'm going to be okay that
that is that's not super human strength
that's that's a little girl in there as
well who is just weak and wants to get
better but I think that also it's
important to understand that those
moments pass and to not get stuck in
them uh I remember I was in a very very
dark place when during the during the
toughest times of this condition I was
in a very very dark place
and I had you know you name it I had the
most darkest thoughts and then when I
realized that wait a minute I'm not
actually going to do anything about
these dark thought thoughts they're not
getting me anywhere so if I'm not going
to let it destroy me if I'm not going to
let it destroy me it means that I have
to start putting one step forward and I
and every day after that I put one step
forward I went I put another step one
step at a time and uh I have had amazing
people family and and really close
friends who stood by me every single day
to get to where I am today and um I
still have an over overcome it but the
number of bad days uh have reduced a lot
compared to how it was before so I just
want to tell anyone who's going through
a tough time that no I'm not super human
no I don't have super human strength
yeah it there's superhuman strength in
each one of us if you just just get
through the bad stuff just wait it out
let it flow let it pass it will pass
that's all that's all it takes and
somehow that ends up becoming super
human
