Aneet Padda On Doubts While Juggling College And Acting
While Aneet turned into an overnight sensation after the release of Saiyaara, she recalled feeling unsettled despite her performance in Big Girls Don’t Cry being applauded. Juggling acting and college, she admitted to having doubts about whether she would succeed in showbiz and whether she could sustain herself financially through acting alone.
She revealed that things also felt ‘culturally different’ on set as she was surrounded by ‘big people’. Aneet recalled feeling uncertain about whether she would succeed, and was still looking for other options. “I didn’t know if I would make it. Of course, I was doing things, but I didn’t know if I’d have enough safety that I’d be able to make money only off of this. So I was still looking for other options, and what schools to apply to after college,” she told Cosmopolitan India.
Before Saiyaara, Aneet has appeared in the 2022 film Salaam Venky and the Prime Video series ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry’.
