I want to be known for my work, not link-ups: RJ Mahvash - Exclusive

What’s the internet’s oldest favourite pastime? Spot and gossip. While social media continues to dissect every frame and caption, Mahvash has opted for a quieter route: letting her work speak.

In a candid sit-down with us, the actor and radio star offered a rare window into her perspective—one that’s far removed from the noise. She admitted that while living in the spotlight comes with its ebb and flow, she expressed a desire to be remembered for her craft, and not these social media chatters.

Addressing the whirlwind of headlines with the calm poise of someone who's been here before, Mahvash tenders a sharp reality check. "The problem is people don't realise that the work that we do, our circle is always such that we have famous people around us all the time. So, it's easy to cook stories up or manipulate the truth,” she says. It’s a statement that reminds us just how the lines between proximity and presumption are blurred by these grapevines.

RJ Mahvash asserts she is not here for fleeting fame or headline fuel. Instead, she prefers to draw energy from her inner compass. "I strongly believe that if you stop feeling happy by compliments, you will stop feeling sad by trolls. I don't let both get to my head. I don't look for approvals, I believe in building things, and working day and night blindly, and everything else will follow," she says.

As for the gossip? She shrugs it off with ease, anchoring the conversation to her next move. “I have been focusing on my production house, our upcoming projects are going to be big, and I am not looking for any extra attention other than that,” she concludes.
