terribly it was maybe the worst audition of my life if i ever see that footage again i would be deeply embarrassed but that did teach me that i cant take anything for granted my family also wont let anything go to my head ever being from a punjabi family they dont understand the concept of fame much so for them i am just a kid who still gets scolded by them if i am at home i am the one who will go out to get groceries my friends dont treat me like i am a star and they are the best critics that i have they are unfiltered and sometimes i even feel bad because of their blunt nature but i am glad to have such people around me who keep me sane and groundedyou entered the web even before it was cool over the years what has been your biggest takeawayover the years what i have personally understood is that the web is that one space where you can express yourself as long as you are creative and have a passion to do something it doesnt matter if you dont have a budget or a clue on how to go about it people have made careers in front of a mobile camera too there is an abundance of opportunities out there one takeaway i have had from the medium is never to underestimate the audience or think they are dumb peoples taste in cinema and the kind of content they want to consume has developed so much that they are sure what they want this transformation is leading us to something gooddo you feel the webspace is headed in the right directionabsolutely the web is headed towards the right direction and that direction is that content is the king no matter how big your cast or budget is unless your script is good and unique people arent accepting it anymore and thats the best direction to go in how do you take care of your mental health being in the limelight and in a creative space can be a little overwhelming at times as you know people are looking up to you as an example to tell them how to deal with issues in their life while you are young and still dealing with your own life so my way of dealing with it is that i always have a couple of people that i can talk to those people are my friends parents girlfriend and my brother with whom there is never any judgment out of everybody in the world my brother is the one person with whom i share everything in my life i also try to basically have a space where there can be a twoway conversation it cant be just that people are there for you you also have to be there for someone so communication is how i try to stay mentally healthy sometimes i have my dark days but the most
