Karishma Tanna has earned love and adoration from fans with her stunning work in the show Kyunki Saans Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi in 2001. And since then, the actress never looked back and became a sensation with her work in some of the most popular television shows. However, even when she is at the helm of success, her failures and setbacks and her getting over the tough times will always inspire you to the core.
The actress believes that she isn’t the only one who has encountered failures and setbacks, she says that it’s a very primary norm of this industry, but the situation, scenarios and “degree” surrounding it might be different and turn tragic and baneful at times.
She once said, as quoted by Hindustan Times, “I felt low, frustrated, angry, sad, upset and had mood swings when one after the other, my film projects didn’t work out. I used to be heartbroken as I had pinned a lot of hopes on these projects. I used to feel bad but not anymore. Sometimes, things don’t go the way you want them to and that is fine. I had to pull myself up. I believed God has something better in store for me. And my belief worked as He gave me Sanju (2018), where I had a small role but the appreciation, I received for it was huge. One has to stay positive and manifest what one wants. That is the only way to pull out of a dark phase in your career otherwise, this industry can be draining and taxing, at times. It makes you insecure. It is natural to wonder, usko kaam Mila, Mujhe nahin mila but that doesn’t help.”
She added and said that her strength and acceptance come from her mother, “I have been in the industry for so long and yet I am not bored of it and neither is the industry bored of me (laughs). I have so much more to do. I never let success or adulation affect me too much. I don’t know how to behave like a star as my mother has taught me to stay grounded. When fans tell me that they appreciate my work, I feel good but it doesn’t sink in. Moreover, stardom never came easily to me as I always had to struggle and make my way,” says Tanna, who is working on a web series next.
