Chapter 3

Things never go as we expect. I never knew people abuse so much just because there is allegation on me. I know these things are common and I have faced many such things as I grew in this acting career but I can't be immune to such things. It's easy to say - "just ignore the negativity sona" but its not as easy to do so. Can you ignore when someone feels good about your acting and wish you luck? So, how do I ignore the negative feedback. Infact, negative feedback analysis always helped me, if it was genuine. 

I know I am into a career where you don't have any personal space. Irrespective of what one's opinion, it is the fact and I am not hiding away in accepting it. Knowing all these, I still can't help but crave for some privacy.  

I go to a parlour - 'hey look Sonakshi Rastogi is here'.

I go to temple - 'You are Parvathi. right?

Wherever I go, I am encircled by many. In such moments, I am overwhelmed and thankful but if it is negative, then, I can't help but be hurt. After all, I am a human too. After all these, I am exhausted and I can't take this anymore. And that's why, even though it hurt immensely, I gave up on the show, "कहानी पार्वती की ". 

Once, the allegation was proven false, those who ignored and avoided me - came back to apologize and I know most of them are not genuine. Dr Surgeon and his family stood as rock in support of me irrespective of the negativity which soon started to affect them - for being associated with me. They are not aware that I am in this position for helping their daughter but I didn't do it for any personal gain. May be, that is the value of truth.
