Hasratein actress, Seema Kapoor: My family did not want me to pursue acting as a career

Hasratein actress Seema Kapoor who was last seen in the show Udaariyaan shares how she wanted to pursue acting as a career since her childhood. She said, "Since my childhood I knew that I wanted to be an actor despite it being a taboo in our family. I followed my dream and never made any efforts to pursue another career. I was focussed and groomed myself towards my goal. I believe it was my calling and I paid heed to it.” The actress shared further, "And when I finally started acting in shows, I realised how much I enjoyed being on the set. There were times when I had to choose between two good projects and I decided to follow my heart and leave the rest to God.”

Seema who has been a part of the industry for two decades, shares how there are many insecurities attached to this profession. She said, "We have to take a lot of risks in our career. When I accept a role, my main focus is to play it with conviction, rather than think about whether it is the right role or not. When it works, I'm happy but if something doesn't work out, I would prefer to learn from the mistake and never repeat it. I am a deep thinker and like to analyse my actions and reactions during the day before I sleep. This practice keeps me in check and much in control. Over the years I have evolved as a person and enjoy my work.”
