Gulfam Khan Hussain: I don't believe in the tag of 'best' friend

Mumbai, 06 August 2024 (UTN). Actress Gulfam Khan Hussain, who is part of the show Gehna- Zewar Ya Zanjeer, says that she has never believed in having just one close friend. The actress adds that she has a group of friends who she is very close to. “Friends are the family you choose. I have a bunch of friends, and I feel blessed to have them. I don't believe in the tag of 'best' friend, just like a parent can't say that one child is their 'favourite.'   I can't say that any one friend is the best,” she says. She adds, “Friendship, to me, is sacred. Loyalty means everything. Just like with siblings, you might fight or have differences, but you know you'll always be there for each other. You'll always have each other's backs. My oldest friend is Maitri (coincidentally, her name means 'Friendship'). We've been friends since we were three years old. We have a group of five friends from school who are constantly in touch.   Other childhood friends I'm still very close to include Sameera Menezes Pinto and Qamar Baig Jangid. I'm like the non-biological daughter of the Baig family. I also have close friends in the industry.” The actress adds that her friends mean the world to her. “In a few words, I have quite a few friends who are there for life. I have their backs, and they have mine. As the lyrics of the famous sitcom FRIENDS go: I'll be there for you (When the rain starts to pour) I'll be there for you (Like I've been there before) I'll be there for you ('Cause you're there for me too).   Mumbai-Reporter, (Hitesh Jain).

They carry a lot of weight, and I can't use them loosely. The significance of ‘friendship’ is particularly important in my life. As a child, I believed that school friends were best friends for life, but that hasn't always been the case. As life changes, new friends come and go,” she says. She adds, “In today's scenario, if I were to consider friends like family, I have two.   Munisha Khatwani and Dr. Veena Shinde. Munisha and I have been through everything together, standing by each other in good times and bad. Dr. Veena Shinde has been a constant presence since I began my life in Mumbai. We share our love, sorrows, and the ups and downs of life, always encouraging and supporting each other. These two are my friends and family in Amchi Mumbai.”   Mumbai-Reporter, (Hitesh Jain).

It’s very important to seek career counseling: Gunjan Saini

Mumbai, 06 August 2024 (UTN). Amazon Mini TV’s Gutur Gu actress Gunjan Saini, who is also a poet, says she chose a few different career paths before becoming an actor. From choosing science in 11th grade to nursing and then acting, she went through some challenging choices and believes it’s important to get career counseling. She said, “I took science in 11th grade due to peer pressure, although my father had advised me to take arts since I had been learning Kathak from the age of 4. He really wanted me to become a professional dancer.    After 12th grade, I took the All India Nursing Exam and got into AIIMS Bhopal. I had a neighbor who was a nurse at AIIMS, and she was earning well.” “Seeing her, I wanted to pursue nursing. In my third year of nursing, I reflected on my love for dancing and acting, which led me to pursue mass communication in Mumbai. I believe it’s very important to seek career counseling. My father helped me decide on nursing and assisted in finding the right college. During the 3rd and 4th years of nursing, when I decided to become an artist, I was on that journey alone,” she added. Gunjan further shared that watching M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story really motivated her to take risks.    When she is indecisive about some choices, she usually seeks advice from her close friends, partner, or management team. She said, “I am blessed to be surrounded by good people who are honest with me. I am a big risk-taker, living as an artist, and no risk can be bigger than that.”“Despite the uncertainty, I am still pursuing my dreams, writing every day with the hope that everything will fall into place. I am at a stage where fear doesn't stop me from taking risks. I love multitasking and keeping myself busy, so I edit my videos myself to stay occupied. Whenever I experience self-doubt, I ask my close ones for affirmations, and their encouragement helps me start hustling again,” Gunjan ended.   Mumbai-Reporter, (Hitesh Jain).

Sumbul Touqeer Khan on Kavita Kaushik retiring from TV due to regressive content

Mumbai, 06 August 2024 (UTN). Actress Sumbul Touqeer Khan, who is currently seen in the show Kavya - Ek Jazbaa, Ek Junoon, says that actress Kavita Kaushik bidding adieu from TV due to outdated content shows that TV needs to update its content. She says that it’s time to make big changes. “it is a strong sign. When talented actors leave because of the poor quality of stories, it shows there is a problem. It’s definitely time for the industry to think about making big changes in the kind of content we create,” she says.   Talking about the lack of progressive content on TV, she says, “I believe TV should show more progressive content. I have come across some old-fashioned stories. When that happens, I try to discuss with the team and see if we can make it better and more impactful. I sometimes think of the story as an audience and not an actor who is playing the character to get a better knowledge about the content.” She adds, “I think the industry is slowly changing. There are efforts to bring new and better stories. But it takes time for everyone to accept and embrace these changes.”   Ask her what changes she thinks are necessary for the TV industry to move towards more progressive and inclusive content, and she says, “We need to listen to the audience more and understand what they want. Writers should focus on real-life issues and diverse stories. More creativity and boldness in storytelling will help. I think times are changing and people are more interested in real life rather than reel life.” She adds, “Actors can choose roles that have a positive impact or characters that leave a lasting impact and are remembered for lifetime. We can speak up about the need for better stories and support projects that bring change.”   Mumbai-Reporter, (Hitesh Jain).

Sherleen Dutt: Describing oneself can be complex and nuanced

Mumbai, 06 August 2024 (UTN). Honey Trap Squad actress Sherleen Dutt says that it is tough to describe yourself to other people. She adds that we are often different with different people, based on the circumstances. “I am Inquisitive, empathetic, adaptable, knowledgeable, and conversational. Describing oneself can be complex and nuanced, often taking longer than expected as self-perception is multi-faceted and context-dependent. I agree that we present different sides of ourselves to different people based on context, relationship, and comfort levels,” she says. She adds, “Absolutely, there is often a private side that we express when we are alone, which might include vulnerabilities and unfiltered thoughts.   Meanwhile, she says that always being comfortable can limit you. “Staying in our comfort zones can limit personal growth and opportunities for new experiences and challenges. Staying in our comfort zones can limit personal growth and opportunities for new experiences and challenges,” she says.  She adds, “Moving out of comfort zones allows for significant growth and new experiences. For instance, starting to create poetry videos might have been daunting at first, but it likely led to enhanced creativity, self-expression, and a sense of accomplishment.” She says that people often perceive her to be very bold, but she is quite soft from within. “People often see me as a strong and bold actress, but inside, I sometimes cry alone. While I have bold thoughts, I'm not an extrovert.   I talk and call my friends very little, and though I have few friends, my connections with them remain consistent, even after years apart. I dislike when people are unclear and prefer not to give or receive lengthy explanations. I believe we all show different sides of ourselves to different people; with some, I'm more extroverted, while with others, I'm more introverted. Overall, I consider myself an ambivert. There is a very emotional side of me that no one knows, and I keep it hidden,” she says. She adds, “Despite my bold exterior, there's an emotional depth that I rarely share. Moving out of my comfort zone has been essential for my growth. For example, when I first started creating poetry videos, it was a daunting task. However, pushing through that initial discomfort allowed me to explore new creative avenues and express myself in ways I hadn't before.”   Mumbai-Reporter, (Hitesh Jain).
