The term Mental health has slowly found its way to the vocabulary of people. On the occasion of World Mental Health Day Ruhi Singh talked about the importance of mental health in today’s era and more during a conversation with India Forums.
Talking about her struggling days she said, “I have actually become very choosy now when it comes to meetings and projects. But initially yes, I did go to several auditions and most of them didn’t work out. Here, you have to be ready that 99% of the time, things won’t work out but you just need that one project to make it work. Having strong willpower is probably the most important facet an actor has to adapt to. You have got to have your own back. Nobody is gonna be with you and you have to be with yourself and that is the truth.”
She adds, “Being an outsider, getting a project – be it anything, a film, a show or such is the most difficult part. Obviously, you are new here, and purely on the basis of talent, it is very difficult to get projects and that opportunity. In fact, even now I continue to face the issue for films especially. For an outsider, it is indeed difficult. But it doesn’t matter as I feel hard work and talent will eventually reap rewards.”
When asked what would she tell the old her, she said, “Something I would like to tell the old me would be – to not be so hard on myself. I would just like to tell her – have a little fun, love life a little more, don’t be so tough, and don’t be so judgmental on your own self. I have worked very hard but I would just tell my old self to love myself more, to forgive myself more, and to live a little more.”
For the unversed, Ruhi is known for her performance in web shows like Spotlight, Bang Bang, Runaway Lugaai among others. She has also featured in Tamil and Telugu movies.
