Career breaks don't scare me; I've faith in myself: Sangeetha Sringeri

After a three-year hiatus, actress is back on set — this time for a bilingual horror-romance being shot simultaneously in Kannada and Tamil. The break, she says, was entirely by choice. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'It wasn't about waiting for the right script. It was about choosing stillness over momentum. I wanted to pause and be with my family,' she says. Post her stint in the Bigg Boss house, Sangeetha realised she had been in a constant cycle of 'working, working, and always working'. She decided to step back and spend a year with her parents and brother. 'I had time. I had money. Why not use it to truly live? Being with my family helped me understand the essence of bonding and love,' she adds. During this phase, Sangeetha says she turned down reality shows and film offers. She allowed herself to slow down, even gain weight, before gradually easing back into workouts to prepare for her next chapter. 'Two months ago, I knew it was time to return,' she says. 'MANY FEAR TAKING A BREAK. BUT I HAD FAITH IN MYSELF' Sangeetha acknowledges that stepping away — especially during a career high — was not easy. 'Many women are scared to pause. But I had faith in myself. I believed if I kept myself fit and sharp, I could come back anytime. In Kannada cinema especially, female-centric scripts are rare. Filmmakers often hesitate to make space for layered women characters. But I knew that when the right story came along, I'd feel it,' she says. 'THE NEW FILM CHALLENGES ME AS AN ACTOR' 'The story revolves around my character,' she says. 'There is also a love story—a genre I've never really explored. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now So far I have only portrayed girl-next-door roles. But this film challenges me as an actor, and helps me explore character traits that aren't monotone.' This time, she's also exploring style and sensuality in a new way. 'I've never been dressed in modern outfits on screen. This film changes that— but tastefully. It's not glam for glam's sake. It's rooted in character.' As for horror? 'Oh, I love horror,' she grins. 'I even enjoy scaring people! But this isn't the kind of film with ugly faces and cheap jump scares. It has humour, emotion, and a clean storyline.' 'BILINGUAL SHOOTS ARE TOUGH, BUT I LOVE THE CHALLENGE' The film is being simultaneously made in Tamil, marking her debut in the language. 'Charlie had a dubbed Tamil version, but this is different. I'm shooting everything twice. I don't speak Tamil, so I have to memorise dialogues, feel them, and deliver them with the right emotion. It's like doing double the work—but I love the challenge.' She's also working with two different lead actors—one for each language. 'Both are opposites. One's an introvert, the other is very expressive. As an actor, I can't just repeat the same emotion in both versions. I have to react differently, adapt, and be spontaneous. Otherwise, I risk being called either too dramatic or too bland. That's the challenge I'm looking forward to.' Sangeetha also reflected on the larger space Kannada actors are now entering. 'If you see, artists from Karnataka always make it big outside. But back home, I feel Kannada heroines have to work twice as hard. In other industries, women are celebrated. Here, often only after you leave and make it big do people see your worth. That mindset needs to change.' 'SPIRITUALITY AND CINEMA AREN'T REALLY OPPOSITES—THEY COEXIST' One of the most striking shifts in Sangeetha's life is her spiritual journey. 'Earlier, I wasn't religious at all. In fact, I was an atheist! Even when I played Sati in a soap opera Mahadeva. But a Mahashivarathri changed it all. I felt my spirit lift—literally. That's when I understood the power of meditation.' She later found a guru and began practicing energy healing. Isn't acting, with all its roles and glamour, the opposite of spirituality? 'Not at all,' she says. 'Spirituality is not about rules or appearances. It's not about wearing white or chanting all day. It's about being fully you. If acting gives me joy, that is my path. Even if I play a villain, if it brings happiness to people, that is also seva.'

Exes Disha Patani, Tiger Shroff Twin In Black At Mouni Roy's 'Salakaar' Premiere

Last Updated: Exes Disha Patani and Tiger Shroff twinned in black at Salakaar premiere. The duo, once rumoured to be dating, made stylish solo appearances. Watch here! Disha Patani and Tiger Shroff, who were once one of Bollywood's most talked-about couples, made headlines for their twinning fashion moment. The rumoured ex-couple was spotted at the premiere of Mouni Roy's new political thriller Salakaar, both dressed in coordinated black outfits that immediately caught attention. Disha Patani turned heads in a sizzling black shirt with unbuttoned detailing that added an effortlessly sultry vibe. She paired it with ripped micro denim shorts that showcased her toned legs, cinched with a chunky brown belt. Completing the bold ensemble were edgy black ankle boots and a sleek crossbody bag. Disha kept her hair loose and wavy, adding a carefree charm to the look, while her makeup was kept soft and dewy—allowing her outfit to steal the spotlight.

He added a pair of aviators to the ensemble, giving it a stylish, understated edge. Though they arrived separately, the twinning colour palette didn't go unnoticed. While Disha and Tiger have never publicly confirmed their relationship or their split, reports suggested they broke up around mid-2022. Despite the apparent breakup, Disha continues to share a warm bond with Tiger's family. She often interacts with his mother Ayesha Shroff and sister Krishna Shroff on social media, and even received a sweet birthday wish from Ayesha earlier this year. At the Salakaar premiere, which took place ahead of the show's Independence Day release on JioHotstar, the former flames remained cordial and made solo appearances. The series, inspired by the life of national security advisor Ajit Doval, stars Mouni Roy and Naveen Kasturia. Tiger Shroff had previously dodged dating questions in an interview with Times Now, jokingly saying, 'Meri ek hi Disha hai life mein, aur wo hai mera kaam," cheekily avoiding giving away anything on his love life.
