When asked about her experience in 2024 and her hopes for 2025, she shared, “I don’t plan things anymore; I take life as it comes. My only expectations are peace, love, and good health.” This outlook speaks volumes about her newfound focus on the present, emphasizing inner peace over external pressures.
The Bold Choice of Voicing Savita Bhabhi
Her decision to voice the controversial character Savita Bhabhi was both bold and groundbreaking. Reflecting on the experience, she said, “I’ve always been curious to try different things. It was a trial-and-error phase. I faced backlash and was labeled ‘too sexy to handle’ by Indian culture.” Despite the criticism, this choice showcased her willingness to challenge societal norms and experiment with creative opportunities.
Facing Criticism with Grace
Trolling and criticism became a part of her life, but she learned to navigate them with resilience: “People criticize everything, every day. I can’t stop them, but I can choose to ignore and keep working.” Her ability to rise above negativity has been key to her continued growth.
Evolving Taboos in Indian Entertainment
Addressing the stigma around projects like Savita Bhabhi, she noted, “Post Netflix and other OTT platforms, we’re seeing content that was once unimaginable. We’re evolving with time.” Though her work on Savita Bhabhi was ahead of its time, she acknowledges how the industry has become more accepting of once-taboo themes.
A Return to Meaningful Cinema
Her future lies in creating impactful stories, “I want to do meaningful cinema, especially on OTT platforms. By late 2025, once I recover fully and get clearance from my oncology team, I’ll return to shooting.” Her passion for authentic storytelling reflects her deep commitment to her craft.
The Shift from Attention to Craft
Comparing the industry’s evolution, she candidly remarked, “There was a time I was criticized for voicing a porn series. Today, half-naked girls go viral for no reason. I’ve realized the importance of craft over attention-seeking stunts.” Her words underline a shift in her priorities, valuing substance and professionalism over fleeting attention.
Beyond Acting: A Life of Resilience and Creativity
Despite her ongoing health battles, she remains dedicated to creativity, “My malignancy treatment has paused, but hospital visits and physiotherapy keep me busy. I read Hindi plays, do theater, and create podcasts with oncologists and cancer survivors.” Her efforts to inspire others while focusing on her health speak to her strength and determination.
Dreaming Beyond Borders: Aspiring for Global Projects
Her ambitions extend to the global stage, with a dream role in mind, “I’d love to voice ‘Hera’ in The War of the Rohirrim by Warner Brothers. I want to lend my voice to international projects.” This aspiration showcases her drive to expand her creative horizons.
Life Mantra: Letting Go and Trusting the Journey
Her philosophy is refreshingly simple, “Eat good, feel good, and let God decide what’s next.”
This mantra encapsulates her journey, offering inspiration to anyone navigating life’s challenges. Her story is one of resilience, bold choices, and unwavering hope. As she prepares for her next chapter, her journey continues to inspire, proving that embracing change and staying true to oneself can lead to incredible growth.
