Yashashri Masurkar: Life has become so fast paced that we hardly pay attention to our own needs

Forget giving time to others, we hardly give time to ourselves, says actress Yashashri Masurkar. She adds that we need to be more mindful of how we use our time.“Life has become so fast paced that we hardly pay attention to our own needs. We don't have much time to dedicate to someone else. It’s difficult to maintain a relationship. Talk, you build a solid foundation by communicating,” she says.She adds, “We are just running and we forget to listen to our bodies and minds. We don’t even fully process what we are feeling. We distract ourselves from the issue, that’s what we are doing when we are scrolling on phone or casually dating. We look for temporary relief.”
She says that today the meaning of friendships has also changed. “Friendship needs dedicated time to build and since we are mostly working, we tend to be friends with people around us because it’s easy, we are always seeing each other so no extra effort is needed,” she says.
She adds, “Earlier, we used to spend time doing nothing with friends, you know just talking and chilling. Now, if you are meeting someone, it has to be like an event or something. We have forgotten the authenticity a friendship and human connection can bring to us. The other day, I was talking to an auto driver for a whole hour and I learnt so much in that one-hour ride. If I had been scrolling or doing something on my phone, I would have missed out on that great conversation…that’s why it’s important to be present in the moment.”

Sherleen Dutt: Christmas has always held a special place in my heart

Actress Sherleen Dutt says that Christmas for her has always been significant. She adds that she has some great memories of the festival.“In the tapestry of traditions that shape my family's story, Christmas has always held a special place, despite our Hindu roots. The excitement building up to the holiday season is palpable, as the 25th of December not only marks the celebration of Christmas but also honours my beloved grandfather's birthday,” she says.
She adds, “Growing up in a Hindu household, our Christmas celebrations have been a beautiful fusion of customs. The twinkling lights adorning the Christmas tree are as enchanting to me as the diyas we light during Diwali. It's a delightful convergence of cultures, where the joy of Christmas resonates with the spirit of togetherness that is universal.” Talking about traditions, she says, “One aspect that makes Christmas extraordinary is the camaraderie shared with my Christian friends. The exchange of sweets and cakes is reminiscent of the joyous spirit of Diwali, creating a beautiful symmetry in our celebrations. It's heartening to see how traditions can bridge cultural gaps, fostering a sense of unity and understanding. One of the most enriching experiences is joining my Christian friends in their Christmas traditions. The joy they find in being with family and celebrating the birth of Jesus is infectious. The warmth of their traditions has become an integral part of my own festive season, reminding me that the essence of Christmas goes beyond religious affiliations.”
Talking about balancing work, and celebrations, she says, “As the holiday season approaches, I eagerly anticipate the magical moments that Christmas brings laughter shared with family, the exchange of gifts, and the joy of celebrating my grandfather's birthday. In this amalgamation of cultures and traditions, I find the true spirit of Christmas a celebration that unites hearts and transcends the boundaries of religion.”

Charrul Malik: We're living on autopilot

We need to slow down, says actress Charrul Malik while talking about how everyone is running a rat race today. She adds that we need to focus on emotions and the process, rather than the result.“Life is moving at an incredibly fast pace, and often, we fail to appreciate or pay attention to our own emotions and well-being. We're living on autopilot, forgetting the essential question at the end of the day: why are we living? We should prioritize living happily and engaging in things that bring us joy. When we are happy, everything else in life tends to fall into place. On the flip side, if we're not content, everything seems to go wrong,” she says.
She adds, “I believe it's time to start putting ourselves first—our needs, emotions, and well-being. It's not selfish; it's necessary. If we don't ensure our well-being, we can't achieve anything positive. Taking care of ourselves doesn't mean being selfish; it means securing our own guarantee in today's world. It's time to take control, drive ourselves, and prioritize our own needs. After all, if we don't prioritize ourselves, what are we really doing? Life is a one-time opportunity, and if we're not truly living it, we're cheating ourselves.”
While friends at work are great, they should help us focus more on work, she says. “I believe there's nothing wrong with having companionship or friendship in a work-related context. However, it becomes problematic when our focus is solely on what benefits we can gain from the relationship. Being overly work-oriented and self-centred in our approach to companionship and friendship is not the true essence of friendship,” she says.She adds, “Friendship is about connecting on a deeper level, where minds and hearts resonate. It's about being on the same page, sharing similar thoughts, and understanding each other without the need for explicit communication. In friendship, trust plays a crucial role, and it's not about strategic negotiations based on personal gain.”
Emotions need time and focus, says the actress. “Exactly, emotional needs, the desire for genuine friendship, and true human love are now missing. Everyone seems to be on a relentless pursuit of success and the right opportunities through the right connections. People want to reach out to those who can be beneficial to them and tend to neglect, ignore, or avoid those who genuinely stand by them. It's really, really sad!”
She adds, “I've experienced this myself multiple times, where people were around only as long as I served a purpose for them. Now that I'm no longer useful in their professional endeavors, they have filtered me out. When I was in the media, highlighting and featuring everyone, they were with me. However, now that I'm an actor and a rival, many have distanced themselves. Out of a hundred people, only around 15 remain genuinely connected to me without any expectations.
It's a strange and sad fact of life. Those who truly understand me have made it clear. Despite this, I've decided to remain the same person I was before. I don't hold expectations from anyone anymore, and as a result, I no longer feel bad or negative. I just want to value the people who have been there for me, are there for me, and will be there for me, regardless of circumstances. I am also there for them. However, the filter has narrowed down to around 15 out of 100, and in the future, it might reduce even further. I can't predict that, but it's a reality I've come to accept.”

Sheezan Khan: I no longer acknowledge friends who are only interested in partying, chilling together

Actor Sheezan Khan says that he has reached a point in his life where he just wants to have genuine friendships. He adds that he is no longer interested in friends who just want to ‘hang out’ together and are not there when he needs them.“In a friendship we expect a lot. If it's a relationship of love, we sit with different expectations, but with friendship, it's a kind of relationship where we invest a variety of expectations or at least the expectation that the person will stand by us in tough times. My experiences have been such that I have given a lot, not only to family but also to friendships, including the one that lasted for eight years. However, I would say that it was a convenience-based friendship from their side. Whenever I needed them, they were not there for me. I no longer acknowledge or pay attention to friends who are only interested in partying or chilling together. I am better off without such superficial friendships, and personally, I believe it's about time and effort. First, understand whether the person is worthy of your friendship and if you will learn something from them or not,” he says.
He adds that we need to take out time for our emotional and mental health as well. “In our busy lives, we often focus on work and daily tasks, forgetting to take care of our emotions. It's important to find a balance for our well-being and happiness,” he says.He adds, “Ignoring feelings, not making time for friends and love, and obsessing over success can really mess with our mental well-being. We need emotional connections and balance in our lives to stay mentally healthy. It's okay to take a break, seek support, and enjoy relationships along the way.”
