Arpit Ranka: A person should strive to stay in their comfort zone but also work hard
“I don't think staying in the comfort zone will hinder progress. A person should always strive to stay in their comfort zone but should work hard. It's not that the comfort zone is bad.
Staying in your comfort zone is a luxury, and that must be an aim, says actor Arpit Rana. However, he adds that this should not stop you from wanting more, and working towards it.
“I don't think staying in the comfort zone will hinder progress. A person should always strive to stay in their comfort zone but should work hard. It's not that the comfort zone is bad. What I feel is, whatever feels right to me, whatever makes my soul feel good, I should do that. If I am comfortable with something, I should do it. Without comfort, if something doesn't feel right and I do it, I won't feel good. Don't do it if you don't want to. You should always do what feels good to you. You should show yourself in the mirror. So, I feel that the comfort zone is very important in life, and you should do whatever your heart desires. Not just to make others happy, but if it makes someone happy, then it's worth it. But don't live your life solely to make others happy,” he says.
He adds that your journey teaches you a lot as well. “There are many things I have learned over the past year from interacting with very prominent stars. For example, while working on a film with Mohan Babu, I observed his incredible humility despite his immense success. I'm sharing this because we often start feeling important when we receive some recognition. However, when I meet truly big personalities, especially over the past year, I realize how humble they are. I prefer not to name any specific actor, but there is a very big superstar who is exceptionally humble. From this, I have learned that no matter how significant your achievements, it's crucial to remain humble. This has been a profoundly valuable experience for me,” he says.
