Nirisha Basnett believes in the rule of living in the moment!

#NirishaBasnett not only made her dream of becoming an actor a reality but is content with the way her career has shaped up. She has been a part of shows like “#ChandraNandini”, and “#ZiddiDilMaaneNa”, and is currently seen in “#Aashiqana” season 2.

“I have understood that there’s always a right time for everything. Sometimes you need to make it, but sometimes you need to wait for it. I live by the rule of living in the moment. So I make sure to enjoy today while I work hard for a better tomorrow. I wanted to be an actor and I am a full-time working actor. Hence, I am content with my journey and I am in a place that most aspiring actors only dream of. No complaints. I trust the timing of the universe,” she said.

But she revealed that her first show “Chandra Nandini” will always be close to her heart. “I played a princess and the daughter of one of the greatest historical figures of India, Chandragupta Maurya played by Rajat Tokas, in the show. I absolutely loved the costumes, heavy makeup, and beautiful jewelry. Even today I would love to do a historical drama. And the best part I took from the show is I made lifelong friends. It’s been five years and I still have an amazing bond with a few of them to date,” she said.

The young actress further confessed that it’s her childhood dream of becoming a “heroine” that makes her so passionate about her work. She added, “It is also my love for performing in front of the camera and my curiosity about human behavior. I am an extremely curious person when it comes to human feelings and psychology. Acting allows me to experience many lifetimes in one by taking on many different roles and living different stories.”

“Finally, and the most special of all, my mom and dad. They were actors at one point in time and had to give up that career for me and my siblings. I want to be able to live their dream through me,” she concluded.
