Besides physical fitness, mental health is also important, how do you keep up with your mental wellness
Ms. Bhagyashree
The kind of life we all lead right now is so fast-moving that it doesn’t allow us to rest, reflect, or plan. We are constantly moving from one role to another, striving for perfection, trying to manage different spheres of our lives with the precision of a skywalker.
Well…. it’s exhausting !! I like to take one hour off from everything when I work out. I meditate, and concentrate on my breath inflow and outflow, allowing the energy to be dispersed to all the cells of my body. It is a time for rejuvenation, of my well-being for me. I have realized that by giving myself this one hour I am more in control of my reactions to things around me, more able to focus and make thoughtful decisions, and armed with a shield to deflect negativity. Fortunately for me, spending time with my children is a great source of my happiness too.

One piece of advice you gave to your son and daughter when they told you they want to be actors?
Ms.Bhagyashree
This is a line of work that requires patience and perseverance as much as it requires dedication and discipline. It is a line that is so public that you have to be prepared to face brickbats as much as you can to enjoy the laurels of success, the consequences are there for everyone to see and comment on…. so steel your heart, prepare your mind and Go for your goal. If you give your craft your 100% it will speak for itself….. and that is what happened for both of them. And lastly…..enjoy your journey & never forget people that have had a kind word for you.
