Kriti Sanon, the versatile National Award-winning actress, is not just celebrated for her acting prowess but also for her insightful perspective on mental health and emotional well-being. In an exclusive interview, Sanon shared a profound realization about the impact of her roles on her personal life, emphasizing the importance of taking time off for mental peace.
Sanon's journey in the industry has been marked by a willingness to explore diverse characters and genres, from comedy to romance and serious drama. However, her recent experiences with films like 'Mimi' and 'Do Patti' have taught her a valuable lesson: the subconscious impact of her roles on her real-life emotions. She explained, 'Before these films, I believed that the characters I played never affected me in real life. But these two films made me realize that, even if you think you're unaffected, your characters always leave a subconscious impact.'
This realization led Sanon to understand the significance of 'switching off' from her characters and personal emotions. She noted, 'Sometimes you notice it a week later, sometimes just a few days later, through the way you're feeling or reacting. That's when I understood how important it is to switch off from your character consciously.' This newfound awareness has prompted her to advocate for taking time off in both personal and professional lives.
Sanon's dedication to her craft and emotional well-being is further exemplified by her practice of meditation. She believes that as actors, they constantly tap into and play with their emotions, making it essential to take care of their mental and emotional well-being. She said, 'Whether it's meditation, therapy, or anything else that helps you stay balanced, it's important to have that support. I meditate on and off, and that's something I personally find very helpful.'
Sanon's recent film, 'Cocktail 2,' alongside Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, earned a substantial gross of Rs 147.63 crore, with Rs 95.40 crore from India and Rs 34 crore from the overseas market, according to Sacnilk. This success further underscores the importance of Sanon's message, as she continues to inspire her audience with her talent and wisdom.
