What keeps you motivated consistently?
I believe we’re all navigating similar challenges, yet we persevere without letting them hinder our work. It’s a shared trait among us. Those from privileged backgrounds might afford the luxury of complaints, but it’s not for us. I imbibed this ethos early on in my life, where complaints yielded no results in my household. Thus, my motivation stems from a refusal to indulge in complaints and a steadfast focus on continual growth.
What’s the essence of positivity to you?
True positivity lies in perceiving qualities like resilience and perseverance not as extraordinary traits, but as the norm. It’s about embodying positivity without conscious effort, where challenges are perceived as opportunities for growth rather than setbacks.
Can you define a simple lifestyle?
Complexity in lifestyle is a luxury; maintaining extravagant possessions demands effort. Personally, I’ve cultivated simplicity as I prioritise growth in various facets of my life — be it physical, mental, or relational. Simplicity allows undivided attention to this pursuit, contrasting with the perpetual cycle of upgrades that a complex lifestyle demands.
What’s the secret of your fitness?
I’ve observed that our ancestors, characterised by robust health, attained fitness through mundane activities like household chores. Emulating their lifestyle, I engage in daily chores to ensure the fitness of my joints and overall well-being. Fitness isn’t an elusive concept; it’s inherent in simple, everyday activities.
Could you share your daily routine?
Mornings begin with a peculiar yet wholesome routine involving the consumption of raw ingredients like garlic, turmeric, and neem, supplemented by natural powders and herbs. Following a pattern inspired by our ancestors, I adhere to time-restricted fasting, which isn’t as daunting as it sounds, echoing the simplicity of traditional practices.
How has social media impacted your life?
Despite its criticisms, social media has been a profound educator for me, surpassing the teachings of traditional education. I’ve deliberately curated my online presence to prioritise learning from diverse global sources rather than indulging in superficial displays within the Indian film industry.
