AneetPadda is enjoying the tremendous love and appreciation she has been consistently gaining from the audience and the industry for the massive success of her film, Saiyaara, co-starring AhaanPanday. In a recent interview, she opened up about battling anxiety and also proving herself in Bollywood.

AneetPadda talks about battling anxiety and pressure.

At 22 years old, AneetPadda has already become a prominent figure in the industry, thanks to the massive success of her film, Saiyaara. The breakout actor admits that confidence doesn’t always come easily, and her early years in the industry were marked more by anxiety than applause. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, she said, “I’ll be very honest; I started enjoying [acting] with this film. For three years before that, I just had terrible anxiety and depression, mostly because I had gone to Delhi to study, not fully being sure if I’d make it anywhere in the industry at all.” In a new interview with Vogue India, the star opens up about wearing her fears openly now. “I want to prove myself right.”

Aneet spoke about the qualities that define her.

The Gen-Z star also spoke about the qualities that define her. She highlights being vulnerable, loving people too much and crying easily. She said, “I want to prove to myself that I can do what I dream of. The fear and doubt are there, but they don’t mean I can’t.” When asked what drives her, she said, “Proving myself right, for sure. There’s always doubt in my head. All of us are confident, we know what we want, but we’re also overexposed and under pressure, even when we don’t need to be. I have so many expectations of myself. I want to prove that even with fear and doubt, I can still do it. Those things will always be there, but they’re no reason to stop.”

Further, Aneet admitted with a laugh, “I’m just too cheesy as a person,” and added, “The world could use more of it.” She pointed out how certain truths never lose relevance and said, “Live, love, laugh. People roll their eyes, I know that. But tell me, why is it cringe? For real though, just live, love and laugh.”
