The art of time management-Apara Mehta

Apara Mehta

Stress, erratic work hours and long gruelling schedules. It is all part of an actor's job.

I have been working non-stop for over a decade and people ask me how I manage it. There is television, theatre and films.

We hear of cases of telly actors fainting on the sets due to the demanding schedules. It is all in the mind.

When you pursue something you always wanted to do and simply loved to do, there is nothing that can stop you.

There are times when I am flying to different cities for my plays in the evenings and I am back in the morning for the TV shoots and in the evening I am flying out again for the show.

You just have to be motivated enough and go all out to make the most of it. Tomorrow my new Gujarati play Masti Ma Marriage, Marriage Ma Masti opens in the city. I just had a show in Dubai of the Aaye Door Se Milne Huzoor Se.

I also have my television shoot. There are always two bags packed and kept ready in the car. One for an overnight and the other which has stuff for three to four days.

So I am also prepared and get take off on short notice. There is no stress even to pack!
