Amal Sehrawat says, “Alongside modelling, I trained myself as an actor and started my acting career”!
#HarphoulMohini actor #AmalSehrawat says that he got into acting through modelling. He adds that he enjoyed his time as a model and loves acting now.
“I always wanted to experience every profession, and the only way to achieve that was to become an actor and explore different experiences through different roles. From being a medical student until 12th grade, I didn’t know how to enter acting; hence, I took modelling as a stepping stone. By God’s grace, I had a wonderful time being a model, endorsing top brands like Mountain Dew, Hindustan Times, and appearing on the cover page of Men’s Health. I walked the ramp for almost all the top designers and felt extremely elated after doing a music video for Mr. Kailash Kher for his soulful song ‘Saiyan.’ Alongside modelling, I trained myself as an actor and started my acting career. My family has always been extremely supportive in all aspects, hence, I didn’t face the struggle to get their approval. But I would like to mention that self-motivation was and will always be required to keep myself motivated as an actor,” he says.
He adds that he has stopped stressing out about his career. “Initially, I used to get stressed to be on top and prove myself, but it deprived me of ‘being in the present’ and enjoying things. In my head, I was always running ahead of time and racing towards Mirage. With time, I realised it’s more important to enjoy the process and be content; that’s the real success,” he says.
He adds, “Depression and mental health have always been considered taboo in Indian society. I am extremely glad that we have evolved and have started looking at mental health as normally as physical health. I don’t think it’s being magnified; rather, I look at it as awareness. Slowing down is extremely important, but in the head and not in actions. We have to do our Karma, give our best shot, and stop stressing about it. The biggest goal is to be in the present and content.”
