Jahnavi Soni opens up about how stress is shaped by perception, pressure, and modern expectations.
The actor urges people to rethink success and focus on contentment over constant achievement.
In today’s fast-paced world, stress has become a shared experience, but actor Jahnavi Soni, currently seen in Paro Sang Dev, believes it manifests differently for everyone. According to her, stress isn’t just about external pressures but also about how individuals process and respond to their circumstances. She feels that the real challenge lies not in facing problems, but in navigating solutions.

Reflecting on this, Jahnavi explains how mental resistance often adds to everyday pressure. “It’s shaped by perception and circumstance, yet we often make it tougher by overthinking and resisting action,” she says, underlining how stress builds in the mind.
She further highlights that stress is deeply personal and varies from one individual to another. “That’s what gives us stress, but I would say that for everyone, stress comes in different ways,” Jahnavi adds, emphasising the importance of self-awareness rather than comparison.
The actor also touches upon how modern success comes at a cost. Even those who appear to have achieved stability often feel overwhelmed by expectations. Elaborating on this cycle, she shares, “To keep proving yourself, to stay relevant, to meet expectations that never really end, we’ve tied happiness to achievement, not contentment.”
According to Jahnavi, the pressure to constantly perform leaves little room for emotional fulfilment. “I feel this highlights a larger reality of our times, ambition is moving faster than our ability to sit with and enjoy a sense of inner contentment.,” she observes.
Despite acknowledging these challenges, Jahnavi maintains a hopeful outlook. She believes recognising stress patterns and redefining success can help individuals regain balance. By slowing down and reframing priorities, she feels people can move toward a more grounded and meaningful life.
