Udaariyaan fame actor Twinkle Arora, who is currently seen in Khubsurrat, says though she indulged in seeking validation from others earlier, she has now learned the power of self-validation.
She said, “Seeking validation has been a big part of my learning process. I was a person who needed validation in many places, but over time I have learned and am still learning that self-validation is the biggest yes. One should not be affected if one does not get validation from others. It’s easy to say this, but mastering it takes effort, which I’m also trying.”
She described herself as loving, positively naughty, ambitious, kind, and an overthinker. She added, “I’m someone who is fun-loving and just needs the right company.”
Twinkle believes that she represents a different side of herself with different people, and she is totally different when she is alone. She said, “When I’m in a professional environment, I have my own silent, calm, professional attitude. And when I am with my friends, I’m just a time bomb or a laughter box.”
“When no one is watching, we are just ourselves. There are a few things that one would never do in front of people but would do when alone. For example, I would never eat with a fork and knife at home while sitting alone, but I would definitely eat like that when I’m in a gathering,” she added.
She also spoke about comfort zone and said that it is important to step out of it for growth. “There’s a saying, ‘Growth comes when you step out of your comfort zone.’ I think we change our comfort zone over time. Once we step out of our comfort zone, the new zone we enter eventually becomes our comfort zone. So, we keep changing it. Sometimes it is necessary to stay in your comfort zone for protection, but stepping out of it is also very important for growth,” she said.
How has moving out of your comfort zone helped you? “Moving out of my comfort zone has helped me understand a lot of things as a human. When one tries to step out, all the fears of existence and survival pop up and try to hold you back. But for growth, you have to step out anyway. I have learned that once you step out of your comfort zone, you learn new things, set new boundaries, and eventually make the new zone your comfort zone. After a while, you will have to leave it again for better growth,” Twinkle shared.
