In today’s fast-paced world, independence is a choice or a way of life given the demands of a busy lifestyle. However, we all crave the company of friends even in a regular hectic routine- whether it’s hitting the gym, going for a drive, or unwinding after a long day, having the right companion just adds to the day. Although focus requires solitude, but sometimes it can get too monotonous.
Especially for actors in the limelight, due to their hectic schedules, are unable to maintain friendships or catch up with friends often. Known for her versatile roles and brazen attitude, Nia Sharma, vouches that “having company in any form can be de-stressing and rejuvenating.”
In one of her latest videos that the actor recently posted, she’s seen hunting for a friend, a companion with whom she can enjoy a good workout and also some downtime, after a hectic day at work.
Talking about finally finding the perfect companion while hitting the gym, the vivacious actor says, “I’ve always believed in being self-sufficient and independent. Be it making bigger life decisions or keeping up with the daily routine - I’m heavily reliant on myself. Not taking away from team work or having the company of friends. But, in today’s day and age, everyone is so busy and actors are only whirling from one set to another- it’s almost difficult to find companion and friends in the times when you’re free or want to destress.
That’s when entertainment comes into the picture. When you’re out for a run or working out to unwind, sometimes, we all need entertainment in the backdrop. For me, audio series is just that - and platforms like Pocket FM are truly pushing the bar in helping people combat boredom, loneliness and pure dependency on others to unwind.”
The actor adds, “I enjoy social media and watching movies, however I am conscious of my screen time. That’s when other forms of entertainment really helps. We are living in a great time, where entertainment is not limited to just screens - today, we have a variety of content and options available. Right from concerts, theme parks, audio series, to stand up shows - there’s so much to choose from.”
