Celebrity astrologer and Vaastu consultant Dr Acharya Vinod Kumar Ojha says that as a public figure, he has the ability to positively influence the masses and feels that he can inspire and uplift through his work.
He said, “The best thing about being a public figure in my profession is the opportunity to reach and positively impact a large audience. Through my work, I can inspire, guide, and uplift people on their journeys towards self-awareness and betterment.”
So how do you strike a balance between your personal and private lives? “Balancing personal and private life is essential, especially in the public eye. Setting boundaries and allocating specific times for work and personal matters helps maintain this equilibrium. It’s crucial to prioritize self-care and nourish relationships outside of the public sphere,” he said.
Being in the public eye is not simple, and it comes with the responsibility of distinguishing between what’s personal and what’s public. Dr Acharya believes what to share in a public forum requires discretion and intuition and said, “Generally, I choose to share insights and teachings that can benefit others while keeping personal details and experiences reserved for intimate circles. It’s about maintaining authenticity while respecting boundaries.”
And he would like to change the constant scrutiny and invasion of privacy that a public figure goes through. “While fame brings opportunities, it also exposes individuals to relentless public scrutiny, often overshadowing their personal lives,” he said.
Dr Acharya had his own share of hardships when he first started out. But he took it head on and said, “It was a journey marked by perseverance, dedication, and unwavering belief in my abilities. I realized early on that my career choices would profoundly impact my life and faced opposition from skeptics who questioned the legitimacy of my profession.”
Any advice for newcomers? “To newcomers in the field facing struggles, I offer this advice: Stay true to your passion and purpose. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. Surround yourself with supportive individuals who believe in your vision. And above all, trust in your unique abilities and the cosmic energies guiding your path. Your perseverance will ultimately lead you to success.”
