Morning coffee, sunrise, and some soothing music, it is things like these that make actress-producer Namita Lal feel happy and content. She says that happiness does not need to be a far fetched goal, one can find happiness in the little things in life.

Happiness, and its opposite, unhappiness, is what life is all about. We experience both happiness and unhappiness at different points in our life, and both are needed. As for finding happiness, I try to find happiness in the small things in life. This can be something like having coffee with the rising sun in the morning, listening to the birds as the sun is rising, and just going for a shoot, being in front of the camera, working on my characters, all this makes me really happy,” she says.

Namita, who was a banker prior to becoming an actresssays that she still remembers the feeling of being on stage for the first time. “When I restarted my career in 2015, and got on the stage, it felt surreal. I had just finished my first show, and it was a very tough act for me. I played a 70-year-old grandmother of a Bollywood family. I remember I had 90 minutes of stage time where I was talking in English and Punjabi accents. I came off the stage and people surrounded me. They asked me where I studied theatre or what I had done before. That was a moment of extreme happiness for me. That day I found pure joy. On a regular basis, watching a film in theatres, having popcorn and bhel puri while watching the film, dancing to music; all this makes me happy,” she saysNamita Lal has good body of work from Lihaaf to Made In Heaven and Country of Blind.
