Mrinal Navell, the Kundali Bhagya actor, emphasizes the importance of patience in the entertainment industry. She mentions that showbiz requires one to be consistent in their efforts and not rush to achieve career goals. She shares her personal experience of facing a challenging year with no major projects but kept herself busy with other creative activities like painting, sketching, playing the guitar, reading books, writing, and learning dance.
Mrinal advises aspiring actors to have a basic financial backup before pursuing a career in acting. This is important because the industry takes time to offer opportunities, and having a backup ensures they can support themselves during the journey. She also warns against desperation and vulnerability, as some people might take advantage of newcomers.
Regarding her own journey, Mrinal shares that becoming an actor was her sole target in life, and her parents’ love for movies influenced her passion for acting. She recalls being fascinated by the behind-the-scenes footage of a Rohit Shetty movie, which motivated her to pursue a career in acting.
While she acknowledges the role of destiny, she firmly believes in working hard and making the best use of opportunities that come her way. She considers herself fortunate to have received multiple chances but credits her hard work for making the most of them
