Pashmina Roshan Speaks Up on Being Depressed

Speaking with ANI, Pashmina remembered how she used to simply sleep in the afternoons and how she was unsure of her ability to be a ‘good actor.’ Even while Pashmina revealed that she participated in theatre when she was in school, the actor wasn’t ‘sure’ about acting at the time. “In the initial years, I was very confused if I can be a good actor or not. Though, I did theatres in school but I was not sure. So, I had applied to different universities in the UK for marketing. I got my visa, rooms were booked and it was summer holiday. I was very depressed. All my friends would go for parties and they would do everything. I used to just sleep in the afternoon, ” she said.

Pashmina Roshan saw herself as not ‘good enough’ for the marketing industry. She revealed that she was unhappy with her planned course of action after carefully considering everything. “Since then I took a photo shoot actually to see what was in me. I showed it to my father and my uncle, and they said yes, there is something in everyone, but you have to polish it. From that time, I did back-to-back acting and dance classes. I learned Bharatanatyam and other dance forms. I started giving back-to-back auditions, ” she added.

Being grateful for her debut film, Pashmina concluded, “After a lot of rejections, after continuously evaluating myself and taking feedback from family, after many years, I got this opportunity and this film. And I am very grateful for that.”
