Relationships in the entertainment industry are always under the scanner. And people take no time in passing judgements without thinking how it might hurt the person it is targeted to. Actor Harjinder Singh who was recently seen in the film Tipppsy agrees with the viewpoint.
“The reason this happens is because of the high-profile nature of the industry and the media attention that comes with it. Public is often interested in the personal lives of celebrities, and this can lead to intense scrutiny and judgment of their relationships. Here a celebrity’s personal life is often in the spotlight. The media and public are interested in the relationships and personal lives of celebrities, and this can lead to intense scrutiny and judgment,” he says.
The insecurity and professional pressure that showbiz brings with it have a negative impact on an actors’ personal life and behaviour with loved ones as well. It’s tough to slow one’s pace in this industry. The industry has always been considered as the big bad world. With issues like nepotism, casting couch and so on being discussed all the time, it has only added to the woes. Many also find it quite bleak when it comes to things like trust and honesty.
“It’s important to prioritise self-care and make time for oneself and our loved ones to maintain a healthy work-life balance. The entertainment industry has a reputation for being cut-throat, and trust and honesty can be hard to come by. One way to gauge if someone can be trusted professionally is to look at their track record and reputation. It’s important to be cautious when working with new people and to do your due diligence before entering into any professional relationship. I don’t have any personal experiences of trusting the wrong person here till now, but it’s always important to be careful and protect oneself,” he adds.
About the parameters one should use to gauge if someone can be trusted professionally or not, Harjinder shares, “Parameters to gauge trust professionally can include past work experience, reputation, and recommendations from trusted sources. It’s important to be cautious when trusting others in the industry, as there are many people who may not have your best interests at heart.”
