Simple Kaul: Achieving success is tough...but once you achieve it, the real pressure begins

Shararat, Maaya, Bhakharwadi, Ye Meri Life Hai, and Ziddi Dil Maane Na actor Simple Kaul believes that maintaining success is tougher than achieving success. She said, "Maintaining success is definitely more challenging. Achieving success is tough, especially in the beginning when there are financial struggles, but once you achieve it, the real pressure begins: staying relevant and continuously delivering.

As for consistency, she said, "There are phases in this industry. Sometimes you’re working continuously, and sometimes there are long gaps. Factors like not finding the right roles, money expectations, or even getting comfortable can affect consistency."

For Simple, pressure after success and the struggle before it are both challenging. She said, "Before success, the struggle is more about survival, financial stability, and opportunities." After success, the pressure comes from expectations and the fear of losing that position."

She maintains a balance between her drive to achieve more and the need to stay consistent. She said, "Sometimes you are extremely driven, and sometimes you’re in a comfort zone." The key is to keep working on yourself, your craft, your skills, and your mindset."

She explained that long-term success is about consistency and reinvention. She said, "One big breakthrough might give you recognition, but sustaining that requires constant growth, visibility, and evolving as an artist."
