Prajakta Koli Shares Advice on Embracing Uncertainty and Chasing Dreams

In a recent interview, actress and digital creator Prajakta Koli reflects on her inspiring journey of self-discovery. Koli, who is known for her work in the Netflix series Mismatched, shares advice she would give to her younger self, emphasizing the importance of embracing uncertainty and not overthinking the future.

Koli admits that she used to be a child who wanted to plan everything, but she has since learned to let go of that tendency. "Stop freaking out about it so much," she says, explaining that over-planning can block many possibilities. Koli's own career took an unexpected turn, as she began working as a creator with "absolutely no clue what [she] was doing" and learned on the job. Despite the initial uncertainty, Koli says she genuinely loves her work and is motivated by her community.

Reflecting on the moments when she has had to remind herself of this advice, Koli describes her career as "a roller coaster." She emphasizes that it's okay to not know everything and to try new things, even if they come with a sense of uncertainty.

When asked about dealing with worst-case scenarios, Koli responds with her trademark honesty, saying that she often prefers to remain uninformed to avoid overthinking. "Some days get tougher," she acknowledges, "but I know that it's always going to end well."

Koli's advice to those who struggle to dream is equally inspiring. "It's my favorite hobby," she says warmly. "You should really try it sometime. It doesn't have to make sense to anybody but you."
