New Delhi, April 9 (NationPress) Actress Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia discussed her strategies for managing the relentless demands of a fast-paced industry. She emphasized that she reminds herself, “If I wasn’t meant to be here, I wouldn’t still be here.”
When asked about coping with the industry's evolving expectations, Nimrit shared with IANS, “I believe that if I wasn’t meant to be here, I wouldn’t still be here. I will navigate through, like I have in the past.”
Reflecting on her experiences in the film industry since her debut in “Choti Sarrdaarni” in 2019, she expressed surprise that “projection often takes precedence over talent.”
Regarding the challenge of portraying characters, she commented, “Playing a character is not merely a matter of hard or easy. To truly grasp a character, you need to set yourself aside and create space for them to evolve. Developing a character can be as profound as you make it.”
Nimrit, who is gearing up for her film debut in “Shaunki Sardar” alongside Guru Randhawa, believes that understanding a character’s journey, from their habits to ideologies, is both challenging and enjoyable.
On the topic of fashion, she highlighted her preference for sustainable choices, stating, “I have subconsciously embraced the concept of less is more.”
She also shared an underrated mindset that she feels more people should adopt: “It’s perfectly fine to repeat outfits. Styling can dramatically change the game.”
What does her ideal day off entail? Nimrit described it as a day free from her phone and social commitments, where she can indulge in personal time, perhaps lounging, reading, watching a movie, and enjoying healthy home-cooked meals without time constraints.
If her life were a film, Nimrit noted, “Life is a movie. The title would be ‘Dil Chahata Hai’.”
