Mysore/Mysuru: Maintaining both physical and mental health is essential for those aspiring to build a career in cinema, said actors Bala Rajwadi, Sudha Belawadi and Shankar Ashwath during the last Kannada panel discussion at the 9th Mysuru Literature Festival held at Gardenia, by the pool, Hotel Southern Star, last evening. Session titled ‘Cinemarangada Kashta-Nastagala Karmodagala Naduve Belli Tereyalli Minchuva Savalugalu’ (Challenges to shine on silver screen amid the trials and turmoil of the film world), explored the challenges and sacrifices faced by actors behind the glamour of the silver screen. The session was moderated by historian Dharmendra Kumar.
Despite the frequent humiliation and setbacks in their careers, the panellists emphasised the importance of developing emotional maturity and humility. “An actor must learn to accept rejection with calmness and remain focused on their goals,” they said.
