Saiyaara Star Aneet Padda Overcomes Self-Doubt to Pursue Acting Dream
6 Oct
Summary
- Aneet Padda's acting journey began at age 10 with a school performance
- She faced self-doubt and lack of encouragement, nearly giving up on her dreams
- Padda's persistence led her to online auditions and cold-emailing production houses
Aneet Padda, the actress known for her role in the film Saiyaara, has had a remarkable journey into the world of acting. For Padda, acting was never just a hobby, but a true calling. She first discovered her passion for performance at the age of 10, when she took the stage for a school play in Amritsar. The applause she received that day left an indelible mark, validating a part of herself she had long felt was different.
However, the path to pursuing her dreams was anything but straightforward. Adolescence brought self-doubt, compounded by a lack of encouragement from friends and even her own father, who had once dreamed of acting himself. "For the longest time, I told myself 'you are so silly for even wanting to do anything about this'," Padda recalls. But at 17, she resolved to take control, practicing lines with friends and learning the ropes of the industry through trial and error.
Padda's persistence has now paid off, as she is reportedly headlining the next installment of Maddock's horror-comedy universe, Shakti Shalini, replacing Kiara Advani. Her journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring actors, proving that with determination and resilience, one can overcome even the most daunting obstacles to achieve their dreams.
