What 2018 means for me: Actors respond
As we welcome a new year, celebs talk to us about their hopes and dreams for the upcoming year, telling us what it means to them.
Taapsee Pannu
“2017 has been very satisfying. It helped me reaffirm my belief that I am headed in the right direction so I know what to plan for 2018. New year is just a brief break with my sister in Goa. Just two days off and then I am off to work.”
Adivi Sesh
“I am heading to the US soon for the shooting of Goodachari after the new year. It’s being readied for a summer release. I can’t wait for people to see a year’s worth of my hard work. You won’t believe this, but we are busy editing our previous schedules footage, today! Then I’ve got a completely romantic film which would be nicely different to what I’m doing in Goodachari. In many ways, this is the year of new paths for me, work-wise, in terms of the kind of stories I’m going to be telling. On a personal note, I grew up in California, my parents are still there. I'm trying to convince them to move to India so I can be closer to them! It’s my new year resolution!
Shalini Pandey
“2017 was a roller coaster ride for me in terms of emotions. Arjun Reddy took me to a high while there were some emotional setbacks. And I don’t know how or why but in the whole process, over this year, I have lost my core nature of taking life as it comes. I started to think too much about what’s going to happen next. So 2018 is going to be all about rediscovering the old Shalini who lived in the moment! Because life is good and will always be good, except you might have a bumpy ride.
Rakul Preet Singh
“2017 was most definitely an important year for me . My Tamil film Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru and my Telugu film Jaya Janaki Nayaka got me some wonderful recognition. And I got the chance do a Hindi film Aiyaary with a brilliant director Neeraj Pandey. What more can I ask for?”
