Palak Tiwari On Comparisons With Ananya Panday, Suhana, Ibrahim Ali Khan: 'People Will Talk…'
In a competitive industry where every newcomer is under the spotlight, Bhootnii star and TV actor Shweta Tiwari's daughter, Palak Tiwari, is determined to keep her focus on her own path. The young actor recently opened up about dealing with pressure, especially when comparisons are drawn between her and fellow star kids like Suhana Khan, Ananya Panday, and Ibrahim Ali Khan. During a candid conversation with Mashable India, Palak reflected on how she manages the stress that comes with expectations. 'I try not to take any pressure because pressure acts as a hindrance when you are trying to do your best work. Also, I find acting, most therapeutic. It has been my childhood dream to be an actor. I am most happy when I am in front of the camera. I am content that I am able to fulfil my dreams, so why should I think about anyone else? People will talk, and it will come to me later, but that can all be handled. For now, I am happy that I am acting." Acknowledging the shared journey of young actors in the industry, Palak also spoke about how they connect off-camera. 'Everyone is on their journey. Everyone is going through a challenging time because it is hard to make a name for yourself at such a young age. We are all finding ourselves as performers, even Bollywood is reshaping its future, but I am sure we will figure it out," she added. Palak was last seen in Bhootnii, a supernatural film released earlier this month. The movie featured a star-studded ensemble including Sanjay Dutt, Mouni Roy, Sunny Singh, Aasif Khan, and Beyounick. Directed by Sidhaant Sachdev and produced by Deepak Mukut along with Sanjay Dutt, the film added another milestone to Palak's early career.
