Kudos to her for raising the True issues in her profession and not sugar coating it. Its very easy to be politically correct and diplomatic for majority. I like such humans who bring out the issues and speak about it, address it.

[dontnot]

She’s so insightful man
❤️❤️ this kinda talent or humans don’t exist anymore

[kalpanaruhela]

She is correct. The decline in ethos of work are there in every field. Our whole generation is doing something wrong. We need immediate gratification all the time. There's no time to stop and reflect.

I also agree with how hatred has seeped in our daily lives so much so that you cannot talk to people and have to tell yourself to shut up.

However, it makes me happy to see her and her work. Listening to her made me admire her more.

Straight to the point. A very clear interview. No BS, just facts. Highly appreciate it. We need more such candid and truthful people like her to give us a reality check of things, unlike today’s influencers with fake accents and what not! 😅

Extreme focus for acting of Shah, that is what focus of Arjuna which you laughed at

[factsyoudidnotknow]

Listen carefully and she's very clearly mentioned why she is unemployed. Very clearly ppl don't want to see you despite the amount of your past work because of your personal views.
