Mumbai, Jan 28 (NationPress) Renowned actress Neena Gupta recently shared a thought-provoking video on her social media platforms, discussing her strategies for handling negative thoughts.
Within the video, Neena offered her thoughts on the well-known advice of "thinking positive," tackling the difficulties many encounter when striving to maintain positivity in challenging times. She emphasized the frequent guidance people provide — "think positive, don’t think negative, live in the present, don’t dwell on the past" — and pointed out how this may not always be effective when one is experiencing pain or hardship.
In the video, the 'Badhaai Ho' actress stated, “People frequently advise thinking positively, avoiding negative thoughts, living in the moment, and not reflecting on the past, but it’s not that simple. What should I do to think positively—dance, jump, or sing? They merely tell you to ‘think positive,’ but it’s not feasible when you're hurting. I realized that I shouldn’t just think.”
Gupta continued, “Keep your mind occupied to avoid dwelling on negative thoughts. Engage in activities like listening to Audible, watching something, reading a book, or cooking. Stay busy, because if you remain idle, negative thoughts will arise—nobody mentions that. So, give it a try.”
Accompanying this video, Neena captioned her post, “Sach kahun toh.”
A few days prior, the actress shared a lighthearted video of herself directing her team to film a brief clip, noting that audiences prefer shorter videos. Alongside the video, she wrote, “Morning Masti.”
On the work front, Neena has a thrilling year ahead with several exciting projects in the pipeline, including “Metro... In Dino,” “Pachhattar Ka Chhora,” and “Hindi Vindi.”
Recently, she made her debut in Malayalam cinema with the OTT series “1000 Babies,” where she played the role of Sara Ousep, a former nurse harboring a mysterious and dark past.
