WPeople who don’t like you, will not like you even when you do your best. AKANSHA RANJAN KAPOOR, Actor

ith every passing year, we tend to learn something new. For actor Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, it’s the year of embracing her true “loud” self and finally letting go of the fear of being judged. The actor, who turned, 28, on September 18, is glad that she is becoming wiser with every passing year. “Over these years, I’ve learnt to embrace my true self, including the insecurities, 100 per cent. I have a loud personality, and earlier I used to get conscious if anyone said anything about me. I used to be, Oh my God,” shares Kapoor, adding, “I’ve realised that it’s important for you to be you, and just get over the fear of people.”

Kapoor, who made her acting debut with the web film Guilty last year, asserts that there’s just no way to live otherwise. “People who don’t like you, will not like you even when you do your best. So, you should do what pleases your inner self,” she adds.

Talking about her recent birthday celebrations, she informs that she is in London with her friends. “It was my best friend’s birthday last week, so I decided to go there. London is my favourite city. After wrapping up my work, I just took a flight,” she says.

However, she admits that travelling wasn’t easy for her and it came with lots of tests and having a mask on

throughout the flight.
