Mumbai, July 24 (NationPress) Actor Ashutosh Rana, preparing for the launch of his new film ‘Heer Express’, believes that alongside reading, the younger generation must strive to engage with people on a profound level, as this experience can significantly enrich their lives.
In a recent conversation with IANS prior to the film's debut, he expressed that literature offers a foundational understanding of society and the broader world. It helps individuals connect with others, as every person carries a unique story and circumstances.
He shared with IANS, “I believe that they should read a lot but also connect a lot. Sometimes, some individuals may not find reading appealing. However, their eagerness to connect with others and the world is essential. Alongside these connections, it is crucial to foster a relationship with oneself. To truly connect with others, one must first become friends with themselves.”
“I believe that if you examine the world, not just words, even silence imparts lessons. If we can comprehend spoken words, we must also cultivate the ability to listen to silence and grasp its meanings,” he added.
The actor also commended Umesh Shukla, the director of ‘Heer Express’, for his profound theatrical insights. He remarked, “The best aspect of Umesh is his experience across all three forms of expression. He has engaged in theatre, allowing him to appreciate the roles of a writer, actor, and director. His works, such as ‘OMG – Oh My God’ and ‘102 Not Out’, showcase his versatility and focus on varied subjects. Working with someone who understands all mediums allows an actor to feel at ease and surrender to the creative process.”
