Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You recently talked about going through depression and how the industry still judges you on your past choices, do you think that mental health is still something that people need to discuss more openly especially in the entertainment industry
Ms. Sara Khan:
With rising competition, there’s a rise of expectations, and with a rise of expectations, there comes a lot of judgment towards oneself and by others. We actors are expected to be perfect 24/7, and that’s close to impossible. I think people need to understand that we actors are humans too. And not being judged for petty things will be a huge load off our chest too. At least we actors then don’t have to interact with media like we’re walking on eggshells and live our lives as we want to.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Due to the pandemic outbreak, all industries have been affected including the entertainment industry, your take on the same
Ms. Sara Khan:
Yes, the pandemic has definitely brought most industries to a screeching halt. But looking on the brighter side, the lockdown has given us all, as individuals, time to reflect on ourselves and polish our skills as well. Talking about various industries, I see a lot of things changing after the lockdown. Things will get stronger digitally, and ways of working may change for the greater good.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you follow any particular diet, What are your favorite cheat meals
Ms. Sara Khan:
I don’t believe in diets. But I do believe in eating clean. I think that if one has a desire to eat clean and healthy that comes from self-love, there’s no need to ‘cheat’.
