NEW DELHI (ANI)- Actor Ridhi Dogra, known for her roles in films like ‘Lakadbaggha’ and ‘Jawan,’ recently discussed her approach to mental health within the demanding entertainment industry. Having started her career in television with ‘Jhoome Jiya Re,’ Dogra emphasized the importance of choosing projects that offer a supportive and emotionally fulfilling environment.

Dogra shared that early in her career, she experienced a period of unhappiness with a particular project. This led to a pivotal decision: to only engage in work she genuinely loves and to collaborate with teams where she feels valued. “I’m okay not being on the biggest set in the world,” Dogra said, “I want to be on a set where people want me there—that’s what’s important in my life.” She quickly shifted her focus to opportunities that aligned with her values, a choice that has continued to ground her throughout her successful career.

The ‘Asur’ actress also highlighted the unique emotional toll of acting. She explained that actors constantly tap into their emotions to portray diverse feelings, which can be draining. “We are constantly trying to show various emotions, and that means we are carrying those emotions at all times,” she noted. To counter this, Dogra makes it a point to take a “holistic wellness break” after every project, allowing herself to emotionally recharge.
