In a recent enlightening session at TOI Shevolution, actors Preeti Jhangiani and Shweta Tripathi shared their experiences on breaking stereotypes and navigating unconventional career paths.

Embracing the Unconventional

Following Your Passion
Shweta Tripathi echoed Jhangiani’s sentiments, highlighting that while nothing is easy, pursuing one’s passion simplifies the journey. “When you follow what makes you happy, it becomes easier to navigate challenges. Keep exploring and make your own experiences,” she advised.
Prioritizing Mental Health
The conversation also touched on mental health, where Tripathi shared valuable tips for maintaining well-being, including the 10-minute Wim Hof breathing technique, staying hydrated, and effective time management. Jhangiani humorously advised the audience to limit their time on social media and focus on personal growth.
Advice for Aspiring Actors
When discussing the film industry, Jhangiani and Tripathi encouraged aspiring actors to work on their unique selling points (USPs). “If you are true to yourself, you will shine. It’s a tough journey, but also a lot of fun. Don’t give up; the journey is just beginning,” Tripathi concluded.
