Drawing from personal experience, Saniya Khera shares heartfelt advice for aspiring actors navigating the highs and lows of the industry.
Actress Saniya Khera, who has been part of shows such as Junooniyatt, Tose Naina Milaike, Mann Atisundar, and Prem Leela, is currently seen playing a negative lead in Shehzadi Hai Tu Dil Ki. With a growing body of work across genres, the actress believes that sustaining a long-term career in the entertainment industry requires more than talent, it demands physical well-being, mental balance, and self-awareness.

Speaking about the importance of health in a demanding profession like acting, Saniya emphasizes that well-being is not optional but essential. She shares, “In this profession, your well-being reflects in your performance, which is why health becomes an essential part of the job. I’ve realised that taking care of myself isn’t a luxury or a break from work; it’s a responsibility.”
Highlighting the need for balance amid a fast-paced lifestyle, she adds, “Listening to your body, protecting your mental peace, and giving yourself time to reset actually make you stronger and more consistent in the long run. When health is prioritized, everything else, creativity, growth, and success, flows more naturally.”
Drawing from her own journey in the industry, Saniya also shares advice for aspiring actors navigating uncertainty and competition. She says, “Give yourself the time to grow and stay committed to your own path, even when progress feels slow. This profession will test you in ways no one prepares you for. Rejections, delays, and self-doubt are part of the process, but they don’t define your worth.”
Encouraging persistence and self-belief, she concludes, “Keep working on your craft even when no one is watching. Success is built quietly through discipline, consistency, and belief. Most importantly, stay true to who you are, your authenticity is your biggest strength.”
