Anupamaa Actress Madalsa Sharma Gives Valuable Advice To Newcomers: Be Patient, Consistent, And…

Acting as a profession is very competitive and full of insecurities. Sometimes there is work, sometimes there is not. So, one should be prepared when they step into this field of work. Anupama actor Madalsa Sharma agrees with the same.

"It is uncertain because when you're doing a film, a TV show or maybe OTT or commercials or walking the ramp, if you don't get your next project, there is always a sense of worry. There is this constant thought that once this gets over, I'm gonna have to bag another project. But then more than insecurities, I'm talking about myself, personally I need to be consistent in my profession. I never liked having very long gaps in between my projects, like I've done around 17-18 films down south. So once one used to get over, I used to always start my prep for my next, meet people to discuss more work. So I've kept that always going, I never took it for granted. I don't believe in taking it slow, rather I prefer keeping my groundwork ready and being consistent," she says.

Her approach is the reason why she does not have any insecurity as it is very negative and will completely bog one down. And, in this profession, one can't afford any kind of negativity as they have to be in front of the camera with full focus, shares the actor.

"There are so many things that an actor has to be prepared for and you can't have any kind of negative thoughts going on in your mind when you are working. So I have never had any sort of insecurities because I've always been told by my parents that 'it's okay even if it takes time, you do things as and when they come as in when you feel it's right for you'. So I've never been in the rat race. Only when I felt its right for me, this is a good opportunity and the right project, I signed it. I just don't let insecurities bother me at all," she adds.

So what advice do you have for newcomers, who are easily enamoured by this profession?

"I would like to wish everybody out there who wants to become an actor and come to Mumbai to pursue their dreams. Then, the first and foremost thing is that you need to be patient because this is not a guaranteed profession. This is something which builds with time and you have to be patient and consistent. You need to keep working on yourself, physically, mentally, wellness in every aspect is very important in this and insecurities are something you need to completely ignore as that chapter doesn't exist at all for you. Once you achieve the goal of not being affected by not being able to get something and having to be patient and surviving in the industry because of so much competition and everything, once your head is in the right place, you will grow. If your head is in the game, then you will have the right balance and of course things will work out," she signs off.
