I believe in taking risks: Jannat Zubair
After her last television show, Aapke Aa Jane Se, wrapped in 2019,
has not taken up another TV show. Ask her if she has stepped away from the small screen and she says, 'I'm currently shooting for some interesting OTT projects.

It's never been about stepping away from TV, it's about choosing the right work.
I want to pick up work that I believe in, which adds to the performer and the actress in me.'
It's not easy to get projects of one's choice and needs a lot of patience, she agrees. But has that ever made her anxious? 'Not at all. I believe in taking risks. I'm young and I've got time to build something meaningful. There are no doubts or insecurities.
Patience and self-belief are non-negotiable,' says the actress.
Recently at an event abroad, Jannat got a chance to interact with one of her favourite stars
. Sharing her experience, she says, 'Meeting Tom Cruise was surreal. Watching him up close was like witnessing a masterclass in energy, dedication and sheer humility. I walked away with a new level of inspiration.'
Was there anything that caught her off guard? 'Not surprised, but deeply impressed. He's humble, which is rare for someone idolised at that scale. It was incredible to meet someone whose work I have admired for years.'
