COVER STORY

“I love to enjoy life as it comes and enjoys every moment to its fullest. I genuinely love cinema and acting; it’s my happy space” says Digangana Suryavanshi

in an interview with us. The young actress is full of charm, charisma and a strong passion for acting.

Tell Us something about yourself, how is Digangana Suryavanshi as a person? COVER STORY | As a person, I’m very introverted. I came to realize that not too long ago. I think less is more; whether it’s people or anything else. At the same time, I’m also someone who is very warm and loves to talk to people. And the kind of person I am, I love to be present at the moment whether I’m meeting people, or I’m at work. Also, I’m a very creative person, so anything creative- I gravitate towards it. How did you get into acting what inspired you and how has bee the journey into the films so far? I feel like every day brings a new lesson. Every experience unfolds new things. It’s a process. Over time, I realized that nothing can reach a saturation point. Talking about my journey into films; I think I can only sit and talk about it once I feel like I genuinely accomplished something. For many, it may be the transmission, the persistence and other things, but for me, it’s all a process. For instance, when I was ten years old, I was working as a child artist. But then I got offered a lead role in a television show, and then be part of Bigg Boss- India’s biggest reality show. So, for people, that may seem like a switch-switch-switch. But for me, it’s all about doing something better than what I did before, and trying to grow as an actor.

Tell us about your current project which you are working on right now? There’s a couple of projects I’m waiting to announce soon. I also have the Hindi film, The Battle of Bhima Koregaon releasing next year.

Top 3 things on your bucket list? I actually don’t really have a bucket list. I do have a bunch of wishes but I think they are very personal (haha). But jokes apart, what I’m really wishing for the coming year is a COVID- free world. I also wish to travel a lot more; I really do enjoy travelling.

How do you deal with negativity? I don’t look at anything as negative. The only thing that can get negative is one’s thought process, and that’s very much in one’s control.

What kind of fitness and diet regimen do you follow? I try and not to eat heavily after 8 p.m. I prefer to eat my dinner at 7 p.m., and I have my breakfast very, very early. I wake up at 6 a.m., and I have to eat immediately.

Beauty hack you swear by? Keep your face clean, moisturize, and don’t use too many products on your face.

What would be a typical day in your life? I wake up early, I work out, I spend some quality time with my family, work about thirteen hours, maybe write some things, and go to sleep.

Tell us something about yourself that no one knows? I wouldn’t reveal anything about myself that I don’t want people to know. I’m ridiculously private, trust me on that! Haha! Anyone who knows me knows that about me- I can be really mysterious! Lol! Jokes apart, people think that I’m very uptight and super graceful- but the fact is that I love to goof around and laugh! I’m someone who can laugh at anything and everything!
