Sudhaa Chandran On Newcomers Facing Rejection

Sharing heartfelt advice for the younger generation that often feels overwhelmed by rejection and fear, Sudhaa Chandran reflected on how different times were when she started out. She said, “Arrey humare time pe, humare saamne koi example bhi toh nahi tha, aaj aapke saamne main khadi hu, toh agar us waqt main reject hoke main sochti ki main rejected ho gayi hu, bhai zindagi mein main kuch nahi kar paungi toh fir kaise hoga.” Emphasising that life is never linear, she added, “See, life is never a straight line; it’s up and down.

She further spoke about the importance of humility, especially during success. “Success ko aapko bohot hi modest hoke accept karne ki zarurat hai. Yeh mat sochna ki aaj successful hu toh mere se badh kar koi nahi hai,” she said, adding that while people learn to accept failure, accepting success with dignity is often harder. Sudhaa strongly advised, “Stress me kabhi bhi koi aisa decision na le jo aapke liye ya aapke parivar ke liye hanikarak ho.” Urging people to think of their loved ones, she concluded powerfully, “Jab main kar sakti hu toh aap log kyu nahi kar sakte.”

She shared, “I’ve been very lucky. Mujhe industry mein kabhi koi bhedbhaav nahi dekha. Mujhe bohot dil khol ke logo ne accept kiya hai, aur aaj bhi mujhe utna pyaar karte hai aur itni izzat mujhe milti hai ki aisa kabhi lagta hi nahi hai ki mujhe kabhi discrimination hua hai mere saath.”
