#2020 made me a more confident person: Anamika

The

year

2020 has been tough for most of us. For some, it has been a year of loss, while for others this has been the year of lessons. Actor Anamika Chakraborty said that the year has taught her so many things that by now, she feels like a different person.

According to the actress, the lockdown made her

life

move slower. It was mostly sitting in her room and listening to music or

reading books

. “Previously we were used to our busy lives and almost forgot how to appreciate little joys in life. And then I learnt who were my true friends. That is probably the biggest gain this year,” she said, adding that it is important not to miss out these little moments and those

people

in our lives.

As her slow and lazy days were passing by, the worst moment of the year came knocking on her doors. “I was on the verge of losing my job. As there were talks that I would be replaced in Ekhane Akash Neel, I didn’t know what to do and how to handle the situation. For a few days, I thought all doors were closed for me. After all, I had given everything to that show,” she added.

But ironically, it also turned out to be the

best moment

of 2020. Anamika fought back and finally returned on the show. “Later, many people told me that if they were in my shoes, they would have given up and that gave me courage and confidence. I didn’t sulk or blame anyone. I just kept on fighting to get what I deserved. Those moments of self-learning were my best moments of 2020,” she added.
