Many stars from Bollywood to TV have faced rejections. While some remain steadfast in achieving their goals despite facing rejection, some become stressed and some start thinking of suicide. Fed up with the constant rejections, a Bollywood actress also started thinking of suicide, although she overcame it. Know who they are.

The actress we are talking about is none other than Ahana Kumar. In 2018, Aahana S Kumra had spoken about how she was ‘disillusioned’ with Bollywood and there was no one to pull her out of it, due to which she started having suicidal thoughts. She talked about questioning herself and realizing that she couldn’t be what her parents wanted her to be. Without divulging much, she said that she blamed that period of her life on bad company and things she was not prepared to do.

Now speaking to News18 Shosha, Ahana said, “It took some time. It’s not like these things happen instantly. I had closed my view of the outside world at that time. I closed my eyes, kept my head down and chin up, and told myself to keep working. I think my work is what kept me going.”

dealing with rejection
Elaborating further, she said, “There have been many rejections where people turned around and said ‘no’. The phrase ‘not a fit’ came up often. Today, I can say that it’s okay and I know there will be more rejections ahead.” She added, “It helped me to have a plan B. I asked myself if something is not working, what is my next plan? So, I have a plan B, a plan C, there was a Plan D and then there was a Plan Z. Now I think that somewhere inside me, there was always this thought that if one thing doesn’t work, something else will. I can’t be bad at everything.

Still not getting good roles
His journey in the film industry is not easy even today. But continuing with it has helped him understand his capabilities, which has also made him realize that things don’t always go his way. Ahana says, “Today, I can say that I always knew I was a good actor. Even today, there is a lack of opportunities. The roles I am getting are not good enough and the filmmakers I want to work with are not working with me. But I know something else will definitely work for me.”

And this mindset has also made her fearless. Ahana says, “My motto is to never give up – be it on myself, my work or my life. After everything I have gone through, my mantra is to never give up. It took me a long time to understand and deal with it. And that’s why I don’t shy away from trying new things. That’s why I don’t shy away from meeting new people, getting out of my box and understanding that shy away from me There is a world outside life.”
