Actor,
Mandy Takhar who was raised in the UK and came to India only to be an actor, had told ETimes in the lockdown, "People are jealous, and emotionally manipulative, unless you know your way around. My family being abroad I was always looking for family and stability here. But, it never worked out well. It took me 10 years to realise that I was a success from day one.
I always felt like a struggler until the last year when it dawned that I have fans, and people like me. I lacked confidence because my co-workers never let me feel that I made any difference. So, I limited my circle of friends."
Having faced her share if struggle as an "outsider", after the death of
Sushant Singh Rajput, where the film industry is now revealing how deep faultlines run here between camps and outsiders, the 'Saak' and 'Lukan Michi' says, "I am numbed by his death, completely speechless. But, we all face difficult situations, no matter what the profession. Suicide is not the answer."
